Every kid deserves more.
Eat. Learn. Play. was founded by Stephen and Ayesha Curry with one belief at the center of everything we do: every kid deserves the opportunity, the resources, and the support to reach their full potential. We're working alongside a village of partners to transform the public-school experience for an entire generation of Oakland kids.
Since 2019, here's a possible when a community shows up for its kids:
25M+
meals served to Oakland families1M+
books placed directly in kids' hands $100M+

Oakland students 24
schoolyards transformed across Oakland 
Kids succeed when both their needs and their environments are supported.
That's the simple idea behind everything we do. In partnership with the Oakland Unified School District, we invest in the whole child — food, literacy, sports, joy — and the whole school — the cafeterias, libraries, schoolyards, and gyms where kids spend their days.
It's not a slogan. It's a strategy. And it's working.

Stories from the Work
“The concept for Eat. Learn. Play. came to life as we began to understand the tremendous need and opportunity in our adopted hometown of Oakland. With so many children and families in the under-resourced community we love, we embraced a vision of improving the lives of those around us.”
— Stephen & Ayesha Curry, Co-Founders
Change is a team sport.
It takes a village to raise a kid — and a village to build the schools, neighborhoods, and city those kids deserve. Whatever brought you here, there's a way for you to be part of what's next.
