Legacies
Through Football
The Ottawa Sooners Foundation is committed to developing athletes, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact through amateur football, youth leadership, and charitable giving.
More Than a Football Club
Since 1960, the Ottawa Sooners have been more than a football team — we are a community institution. The Ottawa Sooners Foundation formalizes that commitment, channelling the passion of our alumni, supporters, and partners into structured, sustainable programs that change lives.
From youth development and leadership programming to educational support and community events, the Foundation ensures that the Sooners' impact extends far beyond the field — and far into the future.
"Sustainable community impact requires long-term thinking — and long-term commitment."
