The DonalD Douglas FOundation
Scholarship
The Donald Douglas Foundation will continue the legacy that Donald J Douglas built during his tenure as the Director of the New York City Public School Athletic League from 2004 to 2021. He dedicated his career to ensure that the 1.2 million children across New York City had access to quality athletic programs. Although his career focused on the prosperity of young athletes, he was never remiss in recognizing the importance of a quality education. Therefore, our foundation will continue to cater to underserved communities in New York City, while providing young adults with academic funding and other opportunities to aid their personal growth and development.
