Deadline: 14-Mar-24
If your organization delivers projects in Amsterdam, Amersfoort, Hilversum or Utrecht with the aim of helping the marginalized communities to become more physically active, then you are eligible to receive grant of up to €20,000 under Nike Community Impact Fund 2024.
Today’s physical inactivity disproportionately impacts those in the most underserved and underrepresented communities. People from marginalized backgrounds – as well as girls and kids with different abilities — face even more challenges to participating in play and sport and have fewer opportunities to do so.
However, they know that sport and physical activity have a positive impact on social inclusion, health and contribute to individuals’ self -confidence and social skills. That’s why тhe Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF) provides financial support to local programs and grassroots organizations that promote active and inclusive communities in the Netherlands.
