About SPIN Haven Foundation
SPIN Haven Foundation exists to support single-parent households with resources, community, programming, and practical assistance.
The foundation was created with the understanding that many single parents are working hard to provide for their families while also managing the responsibilities of childcare, work, transportation, finances, household needs, and raising children — often without a strong support system around them.
SPIN Haven wants families to know they do not have to carry everything alone.
Our work is centered on creating a place of support, relief, resources, and community for both the parent and the child.
Our Mission
To support and strengthen single-parent households by connecting families with resources, practical assistance, community support, and opportunities that contribute to family stability and youth development.
Our Vision
We envision communities where single parents have access to support systems, resources, and opportunities that help strengthen their households and create positive experiences for their children.
Meet the Founder
Tiffany Simone Mitchell
Tiffany Simone Mitchell is the founder of SPIN Haven Foundation, a professional basketball player, and a University of South Carolina women's basketball Hall of Famer.
A standout Gamecock, Tiffany played under legendary head coach Dawn Staley before continuing her basketball career professionally in the WNBA and overseas. Her experiences as an elite athlete have given her a platform that she has intentionally used to support families, youth, and communities.
Her connection to SPIN Haven's mission is also personal. Growing up in a single-parent household gave Tiffany firsthand insight into the sacrifices, responsibilities, and challenges that can exist when one parent is carrying the needs of an entire family.
Through SPIN Haven, Tiffany is bringing those parts of her story together — her personal experience, athletic platform, community relationships, and commitment to service — to create meaningful support for single parents and their children.
Her vision is for SPIN Haven to be more than an organization families encounter during a giveaway or special event. She wants it to become a trusted source of resources, community, support, and opportunities that families can continue turning to throughout the year.
