Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What are your mental health initiatives?

We prioritize the mental and emotional well-being of youth by offering community-building activities that reduce stigma and promote healthy coping strategies. We’ve partnered with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) as well as Bring Change to Mind. By helping young people build resilience, we aim to equip them with the tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

Through partnerships with schools, community organizations, and local businesses, we continue to expand our reach and provide even more opportunities for underserved youth to thrive.

How do you involve sports?

Through our basketball programs, we offer young people a safe, positive outlet to build physical health, teamwork, and discipline. Sports not only provide physical benefits, but also foster leadership skills, goal-setting, and confidence that extend beyond the court.

Why does it matter?

Underserved youth often face barriers to success that go beyond economic challenges. They encounter limited access to mental health resources and quality sports programs. Our work helps level the playing field, providing these youth with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.

How can I get involved with The Artest Foundation?

Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of these young individuals.

Together, we can build a brighter future for underserved youth in our community. Please contact us today to learn more.
