What is Forward Thinking Foundation?
A 501(c)3 who uses sports as a vehicle to cultivate, inspire, prevent violence and guide our youth towards a successful future.
Our Goal?
Our goal is to create many opportunities for our youth, by teaching them life skills and engaging in communities across the Twin Cities.
Our Focus?
Not only do we help improve skills, strengths & basketball IQ. We use basketball to help boost our players self-esteem, raise their confidence, and teach them teamwork. We also collaborate closely with parents to help provide emotional support to our youth.

FUNDRAISER
Forward Thinking Foundation is raising money to help with funds for tournament fees, a program van, and funds toward a facility in the near future. Forward thinking is one of six nonprofits that will benefit from the Gus Macker tournament. The more teams that register, the more money raised for those local nonprofits. The outdoor tournament will take place in the North Hennepin Community College parking lot on Aug. 17-18. Gus Macker basketball tournaments are hosted in more than two dozen cities across the U.S. The last time a Gus Maker tournament was held in Minnesota was in 2019 in St. Paul.
