Charity Partners

Rodman for Kids believes in the power of collaboration, working together with 40+ youth-focused non-profit organizations as a true partner towards a common vision to support the most vulnerable young people in our communities. We not only act as a core funder of these organizations, but as a convenor and catalyst.

The 40+ organizations below partner with us on our Rodman Ride for Kids event, but we support many other organizations, schools, and programs that align with our mission.

Area of Focus: Education

Project D.E.E.P.

The mission of Project D.E.E.P. is to foster the educational, athletic, and social growth and development of middle school children of all races, creeds, and ethnic backgrounds throughout the Dorchester community

Bottom Line

Bottom Line partners with degree-aspiring students from first-generation and low-income backgrounds as they get into college, graduate, and go far in life. Their vision is to create a far-reaching ripple effect, launched by the transformative power of a college degree and a mobilizing first career, that will uplift individuals, families, and entire communities.

One Bead

One Bead’s mission is to close the opportunity gap in Boston. At One Bead, we unlock potential in young students by introducing them to diverse professionals in school, online, and in the community. These professionals are leaders in their industry, but many are also immigrants, English language learners, and/or first-generation college graduates.

They speak candidly about their experiences confronting and overcoming adversity and, in doing so, validate the lived experiences of our students. Each interaction encourages youth to expand their horizons and envision themselves in similar positions of power and influence.

Level Ground MMA

The mission of Level Ground is to empower urban youth through transformative athletic, academic, and employment opportunities so that they may overcome the challenges of their environment and accomplish their goals for the future. We are the first and only nonprofit organization in the United States that leverages the popular sport of Mixed Martial Arts as a vehicle for positive youth development and community transformation.

ThinkGive Project

ThinkGive’s vision is that every student can access the social and emotional learning (SEL) needed to develop their whole selves and promote emotional well-being. Our research-based social and emotional learning (SEL) programs center around youth (K-8) learning self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship skills by taking action to impact their own lives and the lives of others.

Raising A Reader MA

Raising a Reader MA mission is to close the literacy opportunity gap among children ages birth to age six in under-resourced communities by helping families develop and practice shared home reading habits.

One for Health Foundation

Healing America begins with the children, and the process of change starts with each person taking responsibility for his or her own wellness. As a group the power grows exponentially.

MetroWest YMCA

The MetroWest YMCA is dedicated to providing programs and services that build healthy mind, body and spirit for all.

Mass Mentoring Partnership

At Mass Mentoring Partnership, we are driven to make positive relationships with caring adults integral to the life of every young person in Massachusetts. For children to grow up to become active, engaged and thriving members of the community, they need adults in their lives who can serve as positive role models and help them explore and learn.

Friends of the Children – Boston

Friends of the Children – Boston creates generational change by engaging children from high-risk communities in twelve years of transformative mentoring relationships.

Our mission is impacting generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles through relationships with professional mentors – 12+ years, no matter what.
