ABOUT THE TARA VANDERVEER FUND FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF WOMEN IN COACHING
A coach is a transformative figure in the life of a young athlete, both on and off the court. Inspired by legendary Stanford University Coach Tara VanDerveer, this Fund will honor her legacy by providing fellowships for aspiring female coaches in all collegiate sports, from basketball and volleyball to water polo, wrestling and fencing, providing opportunities for women coaches to excel and become leaders in sports coaching.
This Fund hits right at the heart of the mission of the Women’s Sports Foundation. Founded by Billie Jean King in 1974, the Women’s Sports Foundation seeks to strengthen and expand opportunities for all girls and women to participate in all sports at all levels through research, advocacy, community impact and a wide variety of collaborative partnerships.
With Tara’s legacy at the forefront of this initiative, the fund will have a transformative impact on the lives of women who otherwise would be unable to sustain this career path.
The Women's Sports Foundation is accepting donations to build this fund.
