SPIDACARES strives to positively impact families and communities through the life-changing power of education and athletics.

Founded by NBA superstar Donovan Mitchell and his family, SPIDACARES provides resources in the service of accelerating opportunity and building an equitable society.

Through supporting youth and athletic programs, the foundation seeks to foster and promote the physical well-being and mental health, ethical character, confidence, and good sportsmanship of both children and adults. 

SPIDACARES awards grants and scholarships to students with financial need who exemplify the spirit of hard work, empathy, and leadership embodied in Donovan’s commitment to Determination Over Negativity.
