The Audience of One Foundation, commonly referred to as the AO1 Foundation, is an American non-profit foundation founded in July 2017 by then-Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz. The "audience of one" in the foundation's name refers to Jesus, as Wentz is a Christian. [1] The foundation operates through 3 ministries.

History

In 2018, the foundation partnered with The Connect Church to start operating a food truck in Philadelphia, providing free food. The service expanded to Indianapolis in 2021, when Wentz quarterbacked the Indianapolis Colts. [2]

In the same year, the foundation created the Outdoor Ministry to give children with life-threatening illnesses access to activities such as swimming, fishing and hunting. [3]

After visiting Haiti on a mission trip in the spring of 2017, Wentz partnered with Mission of Hope to build a sports complex. [4]
