Empowering Indigenous Youth Through the N7 Fund
What To Know
Through the N7 Fund, NIKE, Inc. invests in non-profits that serve Indigenous communities in North America.
NIKE, Inc. supports non-profit organisations that elevate Indigenous communities in North America by taking action to create a culture of belonging in sport that welcomes all Indigenous youth (ages 7 to 17) to play.
