An everyday hero is exactly what running back Bijan Robinson strives to be. Guided by God’s word and a passion for giving back, Bijan makes an impact in the communities where he plays football. He established Bijan Robinson Foundation in 2023 to make a difference in four key areas: Faith, Homelessness and Youth.

Bijan Robinson Foundation is a Texas nonprofit corporation operating through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178). Contributions to Bijan Robinson Foundation are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law (ppf.org/pp). 

Bijan and his foundation have already supported a number of philanthropic movements. 

  • My Cause My Cleats

    The goal of the Bijan’s My Cause My Cleat cleat design is to represent all three pillars of his foundation (faith, homelessness, and youth) in a unique way while also commanding the attention (and hearts) of both current and future Bijan Robinson fans.

  • Addressing Chronic Homelessness

    Bijan is giving back to his collegiate community in a big way. The young NFL running back donated $300,000 to Mobile Loaves & Fishes Community First! Village in Austin, Texas. Community First! Village is a master planned neighborhood that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women who are coming out of chronic homelessness. It occupies 51 acres (about twice the area of Chicago's Millennium Park) and is home to over 370 formerly homeless neighbors. Robinson’s major donation of $300,000 will sponsor these neighbors for one year.

  • AUSTIN JUNIOR JAGS

    Bijan donated $25,000 to the Austin Junior Jags youth football and cheerleading program, who are part of an underprivileged community that is comprised of 4 football teams and 17 cheerleaders, with ages ranging from 5-12 years old. Bijan’s donation is the largest donation the organization has ever received. Proceeds go toward uniforms, dues for practice and gameday fields, and the end of year banquet. In addition, Bijan funded a season kickoff party at LBJ High School and surprised the coaches and kids at one of their games, in the locker room and pre-game exercises using his time to spread the message of the importance of playing sports. Bijan is grateful to have received the NFLPA MVP Community Award for his impact.

  • DEN5FOR5 FOR THE HOMELESS

    For every yard gained by Bijan Robinson on the football field, the DEN Foundation donated $5 to Community First! Village. The 51-acre property in Austin, TX provides affordable housing and a supportive community for women, men and children experiencing homelessness. In February 2023, Bijan visited Community First! Village to present an oversized check for the $15,000 raised.

  • BACKPACKS FOR KIDS

    A hero showed up to Austin Harmony School of Excellence in late August 2022, when Bijan Robinson delivered $3,000 worth of backpacks to the students. Bijan spent time with the students and showed an example of how good faith can impact lives.

  • SWIM LESSONS WITH TANKPROOF

    Bijan helped teach swimming lessons to children in Austin, TX in partnership with Austin Parks and Recreation Aquatic Division and TankProof, a non-profit organization that provides free swimming lessons and food to kids in need. Bijan emphasizes the importance of learning how to swim because he had a non-fatal drowning accident himself as a 5-year-old.
