Olympic Club Foundation

The Olympic Club Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) public charity fostering amateur sports competition. The Foundation was established in San Francisco, California in 1992 and provides support for athletic programs for disadvantaged Bay Area youth. The Olympic Club Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Olympic Club.〔(Foundation web-site )〕
==Early roots in Olympic Club==
According to the Olympic Club's official website, "giving back to the community is a tradition that has endured since the Olympic Club's earliest days."〔(Olympic Club website, "Olympic Club Foundation" )〕 The Olympic Club has a long history of philanthropy, dating back to its origins in 1860. In December of that year, the Club held its first public exhibition, in Pratt’s Hall on Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California for the benefit of a young ladies seminary. During the American Civil War years, fund-raising events were held in support of the war effort. One of the most noteworthy was one which netted over $1,000 for the Sanitary Commission.
In 1914, in the spirit of public service, the Olympic Club minstrels came to the rescue of the San Francisco Associated Charities, whose coffers were empty, and raised $20,000 through three brilliant performances at the Savoy Theatre. In 1917, the Club donated 10% of its net revenue for the duration of the First World War to the San Francisco chapter of the American Red Cross. Similar charitable activities were undertaken during World War II.
The Olympic Club has also generously supported its own athletes in international competition. For example, for the 1924 Olympics, the Club sent 22 athletes to Paris and had the distinction of placing more athletes on competing United States teams than any other organization or institution. Throughout its history, the Club has been a strong promoter of athletic programs for young athletes and provided financial support through an informal “athletes fund” for those with potential for international Olympics competition.
