New Initiatives Lead the Way
Earlier this month, we launched three new Sports Philanthropy Network initiatives on Giving Tuesday. We are excited to proceed with these efforts in order to allow us to support the organizations in our Network in these key areas.
Each of these areas will receive substantial attention and focus and we will immediately commence fundraising programs to support each of these three initiatives.
#SportsPhilanthropyNeverSleeps
We hope that you will assist our mission by becoming an Insider of the Sports Philanthropy Network or making a donation to support these specific initiatives.
JOIN THE SPORTS PHILANTHROPY NETWORK OR DONATE NOW
In addition to our fundraising efforts, we encourage you to join our Webinars each week. Our topics have generated a lot of interest and we continue to explore additional ways to support our Network during this crisis. We hope this forum will create a supportive environment for everyone in our Network and beyond.
New Schedule:
As a result of many states opening up some of their operations as well as the fact that many of us are “Zoomed-out” or turning into “Zoombies“, we have adjusted our schedule going forward. We are glad that we were able to serve so many organizations as we went through the initial stages of the COVID-19 crisis.
- Webinars every Wednesday at 11 am ET/10 CT/9 MT/8 PT
- Creating a COVID-19 Sports Resource Page
- Sports Philanthropy Podcast will be released every Tuesday, and Thursday
Check out our resource page which has lessons, tips, ideas and links to organizations that are offering free resources and free consultations to help through this difficult time. We hope you take advantage of these resources!
