Outreach Programs
One Community
at a Time
We believe in making a real difference, one community at a time. Our outreach programs bring water safety, swimming, and wellness education to those who need it most.
Through our targeted initiatives, we’re reaching kids and families across the country, helping them feel confident, safe, and empowered.`
Caps for a Cause
The Caps for a Cause program is all about giving back through the sport that changed Michael’s life.
Non-profit organizations focused on promoting swimming, encouraging kids to lead healthy, active lives, or providing mental health services are invited to apply for a silent or live auction item to support their fundraising efforts.

Please note: Applying does not guarantee a donation. If selected, the recipient will be informed of their award level based on the specifics of the event or organization.
Caps are awarded monthly, with the recipient receiving an autographed Michael Phelps swim cap within two weeks of the decision. Your organization will also be featured on our website and social media. After your event, we kindly request a report within 30 days.
IM Programs
Our IM Programs focus on water safety, swimming, and building life skills. These programs are designed to give kids the tools they need to stay safe in the water, stay active, and build self-confidence. We work with organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs and Special Olympics to bring these programs to as many kids as possible.
Together, we can give kids the skills they need to be successful swimmers and strong individuals.
