BREYBOURNE FOUNDATION, INC. • 501(c)(3) PUBLIC CHARITY
Public Access. Education. Inclusion.
Breybourne Foundation, Inc. is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to expanding public access to cricket and compatible community sport through charitable infrastructure, education, and disciplined stewardship. We exist to make sport available, affordable, and welcoming—for boys and girls, adults, students and families, beginners and lifelong participants.
Access to sport should not depend on circumstance. It is a public responsibility.
A National Public Charity Advancing Access in Sport.
Built for scale. Built for longevity. Built for public benefit.
Our Mission
Access, built on purpose
Communities grow stronger when sport is easy to enter and safe to sustain. We advance access through charitable facilities, education, and inclusion—so cricket and compatible community sport can belong to more people, in more places, for the long term.
What we are (and aren’t)
We support, develop, and steward charitable community sports infrastructure and educational access initiatives. We do not function as a league, a sanctioning body, or a regulator of the sport. Certain facilities and programs may be administered by designated operators under written agreements aligned with the Foundation’s charitable mission.
National Reach
A mission-aligned national framework
The Foundation is designed to advance access through mission-aligned local, regional, and institutional partnerships—beginning with Chicago as the Founding Anchor. This is how access scales responsibly: community by community, with long-term public benefit at the center.
What this looks like on the ground
Foundation-supported sites are designed to serve youth, schools, higher education, adults, and community groups— with facilities and access windows built for public use. Designated operators may administer mission-aligned programs and events under written agreements that preserve public benefit.
- Chicago is the Founding Anchor and national starting point
- Partnerships support public access, education, and inclusive participation
