Our Mission
We are a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization located in Northeast Ohio.
Sole Inspiration removes a barrier to youth sports participation by providing athletic footwear to kids in need. This enables them to experience the teamwork, sportsmanship, and health benefits that come with playing on a team.
Our mission is to provide athletic footwear to underprivileged youth who would otherwise not be able to properly participate in team sports. To learn more about us, our mission and why we got started, click below.
ABOUT US
Support Sole Inspiration
When you donate to Sole Inspiration, you’re giving more than just shoes—you’re providing confidence, opportunity, and support to students in need. We believe that every child deserves the chance to participate fully in sports, regardless of their financial situation. By equipping young athletes with the proper footwear, we help them build self-esteem, teamwork skills, and a sense of belonging.
Your donation directly funds athletic shoes for students from 4th to 12th grade who demonstrate financial need and participate in team sports. Every pair of shoes represents a step toward a brighter future, empowering kids to pursue their passions without barriers.
Join us in making a tangible difference in the lives of young athletes. Your generosity can inspire a student-athlete to take that first step, run that extra mile, and achieve their goals. Together, we can create a lasting impact—one pair of shoes at a time.
Assistance
To be eligible to apply, students must be in 4th–12th grade, participate in a team sport, and demonstrate financial need. Proof of participation in a team sport may be required to ensure we are reaching those who need it most. Shoes will be distributed based on need and the funds available each month, and our goal is to fulfill every request! If we are unable to fulfill your request due to limited funds, you will be notified and encouraged to apply again.
We believe in the power of sports to transform lives, and we want every student to feel equipped and confident as they pursue their passions. Currently, we are providing athletic shoes only for the current and next sports season. Please apply closer to your season as we do not have a waitlist program. We look forward to supporting you when the time is right!
