What we do

WHAT WE DO

THE FOUNDATION

The Jack O’Donnell Foundation has been created to identify sportspeople (from 6 to 19 years old) who need support to realise their potential. This support can range from the funding of equipment, physio, training, or membership fees to a specific sport club.

The Jack O’Donnell Foundation awards grants at club or individual level. It is up to the club or sportsperson to make an application to the Foundation for any support that they may require. All individual applications will be verified with club coaches and all payments must be made to an organisation (i.e. not to individuals).

OUR FOCUS

YOUNG PEOPLE

We also partner with charities to identify young people in need of medical treatment that they ordinarily would not be able to receive. The Jack O’Donnell Foundation helps to fund the life changing treatment for these young people.

Due to the nature of these two very different, but equally important, aims of the Jack O’Donnell Foundation we hope to impact and influence young people’s lives in a very positive way. This is the very best legacy we can hope to create for Jack.

Please see our Facebook page to keep up to date on our fundraising events.
