Stephen and Ayesha Curry put down roots in Oakland, and in 2019 they built a foundation to match: Eat. Learn. Play. Working inside Oakland's public schools, it fights for three things every child needs: enough nutritious food to eat, the resources to learn to love reading, and safe places to play.
Three Pillars, One City
Founded by Stephen and Ayesha Curry in 2019, Eat. Learn. Play. works within the Oakland Unified School District on the essentials of a healthy childhood: access to nutritious meals, quality reading resources, and opportunities to play and be active.
One Million Meals When Schools Closed
When Oakland schools closed in March 2020, more than 18,000 children who relied on school for two or more meals a day were suddenly cut off. Eat. Learn. Play. teamed with the school district and the Alameda County Community Food Bank to help provide one million meals to Oakland students.
A $25 Million Commitment to Literacy
The foundation has made a $25 million commitment to advance literacy in Oakland, funding one-on-one professional tutoring and other reading initiatives. Its book fairs and gift boxes put more than 100,000 brand-new books into the hands of Oakland's 18,000 elementary students in a single holiday season.
New Courts, Gyms and Schoolyards
Eat. Learn. Play. transforms the places Oakland kids play: renovating schoolyards and libraries and unveiling new gyms like Curry Court 013 at Madison Park Academy, built with Curry Brand so students have a home court worthy of their effort.
Christmas with the Currys
The Currys' holiday tradition closes the year in Oakland: surprise school celebrations, backpacks and gifts for every one of the city's 18,000 elementary students, grocery gift cards for about 1,000 families in need, and in 2024 more than $2 million in total resources and support.
