Key Points:

  • Caitlin Clark’s foundation uplifts youth through education, nutrition, and sports initiatives.
  • The foundation launched a redesigned website to enhance public engagement and awareness.
  • Clark upgrades community courts in Iowa; expects full recovery before next WNBA season.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is not only a massive superstar on the court. The 23-year-old is also making an impact outside the confines of basketball by leveraging her popularity to help those who are in need.

In 2023, even before she was selected as the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, the Iowa Hawkeyes icon established the Caitlin Clark Foundation with a mission to “uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition, and sports.” These three pillars are not exclusive to her non-profit but are also considered foundations of her own personal success.

Clark’s sophomore campaign with the Fever did not go according to plan. She was in the midst of another big year, but ended up playing just 13 games due to multiple injuries. She was ultimately shut down for the remainder of the season due to a right groin strain.

In her second year in the WNBA, the former Rookie of the Year averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals. She also knocked down 2.2 triples per game, en route to being named an All-Star for a second straight season.

On Tuesday, Clark’s foundation announced an exciting update. This came in the form of a “fresh new look online” for the organization’s website.  

“The all-new Caitlin Clark Foundation website makes it easier to learn what we do and help more kids in the communities we care about,” the foundation posted on Instagram.

The new website design offers a refreshed and modern look. The minimalist layout, combined with a warm color palette, creates a welcoming and approachable vibe. At the same time, it remains purpose-driven by highlighting large and confident headlines, such as “IMPACT” and “ABOUT.”

One of the Caitlin Clark Foundation's biggest initiatives is the installation of Mini-Pitch Systems in community courts across Iowa. Clark has upgraded multiple courts throughout the state to well-lighted, ADA-accessible and multi-purpose facilities that can be used for basketball, soccer and futsal.  

Clark is expected to make a full recovery in time for the start of the new season. It is worth noting, however, that she is one of only three players under contract with the Fever in 2026, alongside Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson. Indiana will need to negotiate new deals for the remaining players on the roster once the free agency window officially opens on Feb. 1.
