About the company
Challenged Athletes, Inc., doing business as Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in San Diego, California, that has been registered to receive federal awards since February 2012. The organization specializes in providing adaptive sports programs and services designed to benefit individuals with physical disabilities, particularly disabled veterans and members of the armed forces. Through its federal grant portfolio, CAF delivers comprehensive athletic programming that combines competition, instruction, and therapeutic benefits to improve physical and mental health outcomes among its target populations.
CAF has demonstrated consistent federal funding engagement as a prime grantee through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Grants for Adaptive Sports Programs for Disabled Veterans and Disabled Members of the Armed Forces program (CFDA 64.034). Since 2021, the organization has received five consecutive annual Project Grants from the VA's Veterans Health Administration totaling approximately $1.98 million, with awards ranging from $275,930 to $556,692. These grants have funded CAF's Operation Rebound physical fitness program, which delivers a full range of adaptive sports activities including swimming, surfing, cycling, and winter sports. The funded services encompass program planning, development, management, and implementation; direct participation and competition opportunities for disabled veterans and service members; equipment provision; coaching and technical expertise through certified adaptive sports instructors; mentorship support; and training and assistance for program administrators. Additionally, CAF received a sub-grant award in December 2021 from the Christopher Reeve Foundation to provide expert adaptive sports coaching at adaptive sports camps and clinics nationwide, supporting 88 athletes living with paralysis. This sub-grant work, representing 19 percent of the program budget, further extended CAF's service delivery across inclusive sports modalities and underscored its role as an experienced implementer of federally-funded adaptive sports initiatives.
