Making Play and Sport Possible Through Our Nike Community Impact Fund
At Nike, we’re powering the future of youth sport by investing in local, grassroots organizations around the world that are driving positive, lasting change and making play possible for all youth in their communities—starting in the cities where we live, work and operate.
A big part of how we bring that vision to life is through the Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF), a program that empowers employees to fuel change in their communities by getting involved in the grant selection process. This employee-led, neighborhood-focused approach allows us to support organizations that we’re confident can make a big impact on their communities—because no one knows what their neighborhood needs better than the people who live and work there.
- Starting in January, local organizations in NCIF-supported communities can apply for a grant.
- A volunteer committee comprised of local Nike teammates—from offices, logistic centers and Air Manufacturing and Innovation sites—is trained on how to review grant applications.
- NCIF committee members share their local insights and provide recommendations on which organizations should receive funding.
- By the end of May, local organizations are notified about their grant requests and grant disbursements are made.
*Links will be available when the new grant cycle begins in early January.
