You Bring the Passion
We’ll Build the Pathway
Mailata Family Foundation provides scholarships, mentorship, and resources to help passionate, driven young people realize their dreams.
We envision a future where young people from all communities can become leaders and role models at the highest levels of sports, the arts, the sciences, and beyond.
What We Offer
Creating Pathways for Young People
Jordan and Niki Mailata built this foundation because opportunity changed their lives. Now, they are creating pathways for young people from under-resourced communities to pursue what they believe in.
Opportunity is often the difference between a dream realized and deferred. MFF exists to close that gap.






Our values
At MFF, we believe in the power of hard work, intention, community, and creativity. Combined with mentorship, resources and opportunities, these values can shape individual lives and empower entire communities.
Hard Work
We know that determination, grit, and persistence are the key ingredients for turning opportunity into success.
Creativity
Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. We support young people in defining their own paths, and in doing so, expanding what’s possible for others.
Intention
We identify and support young people who dream big, act with purpose, and seize opportunity when it presents itself.
Community
To serve one’s community is the highest calling. When we empower an individual, we do so with the intention of lifting and inspiring the entire community.
