How Is The Center Funded?

Coach K is the founder, inspiration, and Board Chair for the Emily K Center. It is important to note, however, that we are not his private foundation. The Emily K Center is an independent 501(c)(3) organization, and we rely on support from generous individuals and organizations to provide our academic programs. During our last fiscal year, 29% of our funding came from individuals. The remaining support came from corporations (48%); foundations (12%); events (10%); and programs/rentals (1%).

Where Does My Support Go?
