THE BEYOND SPORT GLOBAL AWARDS IN 2019

  • Collective Impact Awards Close

    24 July
    2019

Some description

Following the close of entries to the general award categories, the Beyond Sport Foundation is excited to launch a new initiative to drive collaboration between multiple organizations to exponentially increase their ability to drive social change on a single Global Goal. 

Together with our partners, we are launching two Collective Impact Awards, which will see 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 Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation 
  • The Sport for Climate Action Collective Impact Award Supported by the Swedish Postcode Foundation 

The Collective Impact Awards will mark the largest investment in single issue areas from the Beyond Sport Foundation to date, with grants totalling over $450,000 for the two Awards.
