The Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation
The Notah Begay III Foundation is a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was started by PGA TOUR golfer and Stanford University graduate, Notah Begay III in 2005. The mission of the Foundation is to deliver sustainable, health and wellness youth ports programs in Native American communities in the form of soccer and golf programs. The Foundation strives to be a catalyst for monumental change in Indian Country with three goals including:
- Get Native youth up and active to prevent the future spread of diabetes
- Offer programming designed by Native Americans for Native American Youth
- Positively impact the Native American culture.
Golf Program
The Notah Begay III Foundation has partnered with the Tohajiilee High School, a Navajo Nation community, to deliver sound golf curriculum to its participants. Since its inception, the program has seen considerable improvement in both participation and performance. The foundation remains true to the games spirit by implementing sportsmanship, integrity, and respect as it's guidelines.
Soccer Program
The Soccer Program has been a huge success in getting the kids of the San Felipe Pueblo active and has grown to include approximately 150 Native American youth that participate on one of 16 different teams for a 10 game season in either the spring or the fall.
The goal of Notah's Foundation is to create sustainable programs that are designed by Native Americans for Native American youth. Our hope is that these programs are running strong for generations to come.
