Over the past decade, the Beyond Sport Global Awards have supported, celebrated and provided funding for some of the most innovative projects using sport to trigger positive social change – 300+ organizations, $1.5 million+ in funding and $8 million+ in long-term strategic support. 

 

The Collective Impact Awards

Together with our partners, we have launched 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.

Winners of the Collective Impact Awards will be announced in mid-August.
