Our emphasis is mental health Programs for Athletes.
At Shakeout, we’re more than a nonprofit — we’re a community built on the principles of inclusive excellence. Our mission is to empower athletes on their journey beyond sports by providing the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive in every aspect of life.
At the heart of this work is the Shakeout Endowment, dedicated to supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and reducing student debt for athletes. Through scholarships, mentorship, and events like the Athletes Unite Conference and the Shakeout Scholarship Gala, we’re reshaping the narrative for marginalized athletes, fostering opportunity and excellence.
Our vision is a world where every athlete has equal access to growth and fulfillment, regardless of background. We strive to build a community that celebrates athletic achievement, supports life beyond sports, and empowers individuals to use their talents to positively impact society.
