Feed the Bird Foundation - Ball State Cardinals Collective

Feed the Bird Foundation was launched in the spring of 2023 to support student-athletes at Ball State. The Foundation is an Indiana nonprofit corporation that has applied for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. “The goal of the Feed the Bird Foundation is to enrich the student-athlete’s experience by helping them promote and support nonprofit organizations,” the collective’s website says. “The athlete’s participation with the nonprofit organizations helps create awareness and support for community needs through the use of the athlete’s name, image and likeness.” The collective is supporting student-athletes in football, golf, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and women’s soccer.
