Bark Is Partnering with Tim Tebow to Help Protect Kids Online

We're proud to announce that Bark is partnering with the Tim Tebow Foundation in a shared mission to help protect children from online harm. When two organizations are fighting for the same thing and working together, it isn't just a good idea, it's a force multiplier.

Why Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow has spent years on the front lines of fighting child sexual exploitation, including championing the REPORT Act, landmark federal legislation targeting online child exploitation, and building the Tim Tebow Foundation into one of the most recognized voices in this space. He's been in the rooms, seen the case files, and sat with the human cost of what happens when predators have unchecked access to children online.

You may know him as a Heisman Trophy winner, a two-time national champion, and a former NFL quarterback. But the work he's most passionate about today has nothing to do with sports — and everything to do with protecting kids. His mission and ours point to the same place, and this partnership is the natural result of that alignment.

Two Missions, One Goal

Bark was built to do one thing exceptionally well: help parents protect their kids in the digital spaces where kids actually live: the DMs, the group chats, across mobile tech, and the platforms where things can go wrong fast and quietly.

The Tim Tebow Foundation works to expose and stop the exploitation that starts in exactly those spaces. Both organizations have spent years raising awareness about the very real dangers kids face online, equipping families with information, and advocating for systemic change. This partnership combines two powerful forces — Tim's advocacy and reach alongside Bark's technology — so we can do more important work, together.

The Threat Is Real — and It's Closer Than Parents Think

The dangers facing kids online aren't lurking in some far corner of the internet. They're present in the exact apps and platforms sitting on your kid's phone, tablet, or school laptop right now. Predators use direct messages, gaming platforms, and apps with disappearing messages to access children at scale. The grooming process often starts slowly and quietly, in ways that don't immediately raise red flags.

And the mental health toll of growing up online — the anxiety, the depression, the relentless comparison — is something both Tim and Bark take seriously as part of this larger conversation about what kids are navigating today.

Parents aren't oblivious to this. They're overwhelmed. And it's exactly why having the right support, the right information, the right tools, and the right voices speaking up matters so much.

What This Partnership Looks Like

This is an ongoing commitment. Together, Bark and the Tim Tebow Foundation are in this fight side by side:

• Raising awareness about the real risks kids face in digital spaces, through education, conversation, and reach
• Equipping parents with the tools and information they need to help protect their kids without dismantling trust
• Advocating for children at every level, from the family dinner table to the halls of Congress

You can also hear directly from Tim on the Bark Podcast, where he talks about the online threats parents should know about, the legislation he's fought for, and what gives him hope.

Start Helping Protect Your Kids Today

You don't have to figure this out alone. That's the whole point. Bark is here to help at the family level every single day, and with the Tim Tebow Foundation alongside us, we're more committed than ever to showing up for kids and the parents who want to protect them.

As part of our partnership, Bark will donate 20% of proceeds from Bark Phone purchases to the Tim Tebow Foundation, at no extra cost to you. It's our way of giving back, and a way for your family to be part of something bigger.

Because at the end of the day, keeping kids safer online isn't something any one person or organization can do alone. The more of us who are in this fight together — parents, advocates, technology, law enforcement, legislators, and community — the better chance our kids have.
