Beyond Sport believes when used with intention, sport provides innovative and effective solutions to the most complex issues of our time. It is a powerful and unique tool that can bridge divides and foster a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous society.
Beyond Sport is committed to elevating innovative solutions that leverage sport to address the key societal issues that will put us all on the path to peace, prosperity and a healthier planet. Alongside expert partners, we support inspirational people and projects that are using sport to make sustainable and powerful impact on communities around the world.
Employing a holistic approach, our programs leverage a global network of sport for social change innovators, progressive organizations and expertise built up over more than a decade to tackle challenges head on and collectively. We go beyond traditional grant-giving models by not just funding projects, but also providing knowledge-building tools and connections to help organizations grow.
Since 2008, Beyond Sport has provided approximately $9.7M in grants to 389 projects across 66 countries in addition to in-depth capacity-building support.
