Every Kid Can Change the World. We Can Help
Potato Swimming Foundation exists to inspire kids to turn their creativity into real community impact.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
To empower K-12 kids to use their creativity and talents to serve their communities through grants, service projects, and charitable initiatives.
It Started With One Kid Who Turned a Silly Doddle into a Movement
The Potato Swimming Foundation was born from a simple observation: awards and recognition often go to the same few kids, while so many others have incredible talents that go overlooked and unused. We believe every child has something unique to contribute to their community.
"I don’t want to simply give to a cause. I want to inspire a generation of kids who will learn to give for a lifetime."
— JOSEPH STAUS,
FOUNDER OF POTATO SWIMMING
● WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Ideas Behind Everything We Do.
Kid-Led, Always
Every project starts with a kid’s idea, not an adult’s agenda.
Everyone Can Contribute
You don’t need to be the ‘top student’ to make an impact.
Small Ideas, Real Impact
Even a $100 grant can change a community.
Creativity for Good
From Mission to Action.
