COVID ISSUES COMING BACK TO CENTER STAGE

As we start getting closer to the fall sports season, the COVID issues are coming back into the spotlight. Fall seasons are being cancelled or delayed, athletes are contracting COVID and many organizations are struggling to figure out how they will be able to implement their programs in the fall.

Nonprofits and youth sports organizations are facing special difficulties as they examine how to protect athletes, coaches, parents and other stakeholders. No organization wants the spotlight as a result of illness or death.

We continue to compile COVID resources and we will start releasing more specifics and details about the best practices for handling these issues.

In case you missed our Sports Philanthropy Town Hall on Racism, Tolerance and Reform on July 1st, you can now watch the videos! Please make sure to take our survey after you watch the videos!!

LET ME WATCH THE VIDEOS AND SEE OUTSTANDING SPEAKERS!!

You can see the graphics for the panels and speakers who participated in our event.


REPORT ON STATEMENTS ABOUT RACISM

In addition to the Town Hall meeting, we also released our comprehensive report which compiles all of the statements teams, leagues and sports organizations made about their efforts to condemn racism and their actions to combat racism.

Our goal is to spotlight those commitments, as well as find a way to track how well these organizations were able to follow through on their promises. We hope all of you will support and encourage organizations in your community to live up to the commitments.

All donations from this page between now and July 31, 2020 will be earmarked towards programs under our Diversity, Equality and Inclusion initiative. We encourage you to give generously to allow us to work to make meaningful change and to support the many organizations that are doing terrific work in this space.
