Programs Preparing to Launch

We’re developing our programs and inviting donors, mentors, volunteers, and community partners to help bring them to life. Athletes and families can express interest now; participation details will be announced as programs launch.

Talent Deserves a Plan for Tomorrow.

Young adults deserve guidance as they decide what comes after high school, college, or competitive sports. For athletes, an injury or the end of a season can make that transition arrive sooner than expected. We are building a foundation that connects ambition with practical preparation for education, work, financial decisions, and a sense of purpose.

Our Mission

To equip young adults, especially athletes, with mentorship, practical life skills, education and career guidance, and access to opportunity as they build independent, purposeful lives.

Our Four Programs

Four planned pathways to help young adults build direction, develop life skills, and access opportunities for their future.

01Athlete Transition Program

Next Play

A plan for what comes after school or competition.

Goal: help participants leave school or sport with a clear next step.

02Mentorship & Leadership Program

Legacy Mentors

Trusted guidance beyond the sidelines.

Goal: give every participant a positive mentor in their corner.

03Financial Assistance Program

Level the Field

Talent shouldn't be limited by financial circumstances.

Goal: reduce financial barriers to participation and development.

04Life Skills & Future Readiness Program

Beyond the Game

Practical skills for adult life.

Goal: build practical skills for college, work, and independent life.

Expressing interest does not constitute a program application or guarantee assistance. Availability and participation details will be announced as programs launch.

A Message from Our Founder

Marquette Washington

Founder

After his Division I football career ended through medical disqualification following multiple concussions, Marquette Washington faced the difficult task of finding direction beyond the game. He founded Modern Moments Legacy Foundation to help young adults prepare for that next chapter with guidance, practical skills, and opportunity.

"I know what it feels like when the path you planned suddenly changes. We are building this foundation so young adults can prepare for their next chapter with confidence and support. I invite you to help us turn that vision into opportunity."

— Marquette Washington, Founder
