Whether you're an individual, a company, a foundation, or someone with just a few hours a month — you can make a real difference in the lives of our youth.
Gorilla Hoops Academy thrives because of people like you — people who believe that sport, education, and access should belong to every child, no matter where they live.
Below are the ways you can support our mission and help create lasting change in communities across Uganda.
Give Now. Change a Life.
Every dollar helps provide meals, uniforms, school supplies, transportation, and mentorship for a child in need. Whether it's a one-time gift or a recurring monthly donation, your support goes directly to the youth we serve.
Just $25 a month can sponsor one youth's transportation, meals, and gear needs — transforming not just their basketball skills, but their educational opportunities and future potential.
Corporate and private sponsorships help us scale our impact and offer deeper support to youth in underserved Ugandan communities. Sponsors receive recognition, brand exposure, and the deep satisfaction of knowing you're investing in real, measurable impact.
Choose from three sponsorship tiers — or contact us to create a custom package that aligns with your organization's values and goals.
We gratefully accept in-kind support from businesses, teams, and organizations. These gifts directly serve our students and save critical program costs, allowing us to reach more children in need.
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our global network. Whether you're across the world or in Uganda, we have a place for you on the team. Your unique skills and passion can make a lasting impact on our youth and programs.
From marketing professionals to basketball enthusiasts, we welcome volunteers from all backgrounds who share our vision of empowering youth through sport and education.
