Community impact SRLA operates a large, free youth wellness program across 180+ public schools in Greater Los Angeles, engaging 3,000+ at-risk students annually with mentor-led training to complete the LA Marathon, highlighting a strong social impact story that can attract mission-aligned sponsors and corporate partners.

Funding opportunities The organization relies on donor support to cover training shirts, shoes, entry fees, transportation, and more. This indicates ongoing opportunities for corporate philanthropy, sponsorships, and cause-marketing partnerships to scale programs and participant outcomes.

Brand partnerships Past collaborations with Nike and local grants (e.g., Lakers grant) show SRLA’s receptiveness to footwear, athletic gear, and community grants. There is potential to expand partnerships with sports brands, apparel companies, and community foundations seeking youth health and education impact.

Expansion upside With 11-50 employees and multi-school reach, SRLA has room to scale program delivery, fundraising teams, and volunteer networks. Growth-focused outreach to schools, districts, and corporate sponsors could accelerate expansion and deepen impact.

Technology enablement SRLA uses a modern digital stack (Google Ads, Canva, Squarespace, WordPress, Stripe) for marketing, fundraising, and operations. This presents opportunities to optimize donor acquisition funnel, enhance online giving, and leverage data for targeted outreach.
