The Michael Phelps Foundation (MPF) is a nonprofit organization established by Olympic and world champion Michael Phelps to help people live healthier and happier lives. Through mental health education, water safety, and wellness programming, the Foundation empowers individuals to develop lifelong skills that support physical and emotional well-being, promoting healthy living both in and out of the water. 

At the core of MPF's initiatives is the IM Program, a multifaceted curriculum that includes learn-to-swim lessons, organized swim training, and lessons in physical and mental health and goal-setting. Over the years, the IM Program has reached thousands individuals worldwide through collaborations with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Special Olympics International. 

The Foundation also partners with the Level Field Fund to provide financial support to talented swimmers facing economic barriers, ensuring that opportunities to pursue excellence in sport are accessible to all.
