The 2020 Collective Impact Awards

Along with our partners, in 2019 we launched two Collective Impact Awards, a cutting-edge new porgram which saw increased support and investment go to a group of organizations to work together to share best practice, work through issues in real-time, and drive real, sustainable impact through sport. These two programs are:   

  • The Sport for Reduced Inequalities Collective Impact Award Supported by The DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation 
  • The Sport for Climate Action Collective Impact Award Supported by the Swedish Postcode Foundation 

The Collective Impact Awards marked the largest investment in single-issue areas from the Beyond Sport Foundation to date, with grants totaling over $560,000 for the two Awards.

Congratulations to our 2019 Collective Impact Awards winners! View them here.
