The Women's Sports Foundation is an educational 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1974 by Billie Jean King. In the past 34 years, the Women's Sports Foundation has awarded more than $50 million in educational and cash grants to advance participation, research and leadership in sports and physical activity for girls.
The Foundation's advocacy efforts have directly affected the amount of scholarship dollars supporting educational opportunities for female student-athletes in the United States. In 1972, women received only $100,000 but now receive $617 million a year.
The Foundation's support of national laws prohibiting sex discrimination has resulted in an increase in high school girls varsity sports participation from 1 in 27 in 1972 to 2 in 5 girls in 2006.
