Peyton Manning – PeyBack Foundation, Chattanooga Heroes Fund
Peyton Manning established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to promote the future success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for children at risk. The PeyBack Foundation has provided more than $10 million of impact to at risk youth through its grants and programs since its inception to Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana and Tennessee. The Foundation supports numerous organizations and programs through its grant program, but also operates and funds several of its own programs for underprivileged children. The Foundation carefully selects programs that it can support financially and considers the grant program a partnership with these organizations, not just an exchange of money. The Foundation has become a consistent and viable part of these four communities in terms of underprivileged children.
Peyton not only supports the PeyBack Foundation financially, as President of the Foundation, he is active in all major decisions concerning its initiatives and constantly seeks new opportunities and organizations to further the success of the Foundation.
In 2015 alone, the PeyBack Foundation contributed to more than seventy Colorado-based organizations to the tune of more than $600,000 in total.
Additionally, Manning supports The Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent, Project 18 (battling childhood obesity), Scholastic Book Club and scholarships at the University of Tennessee.
His latest effort is the Chattanooga Heroes Fund, which benefits the families of the service members and police officers who were killed or wounded in the July 2015 attack on an armed forces recruiting station in Tennessee.
