Empowering Indigenous Youth Through the N7 Fund
What to know
Through the N7 Fund, Nike invests in nonprofits that serve Indigenous communities in North America.
Nike supports nonprofit organizations 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.
Since 2022, Nike has invested $625,000 in grants annually through the N7 Fund, administered by CAF America, to nonprofits that are powering the future of youth sport. This investment continues the legacy of our support for Indigenous communities through the N7 Fund and other grants, totaling $13.4 million to more than 300 organizations since 2009.
Here’s how N7 Fund works:
- Nonprofit organizations serving Native Hawaiian, Native American, First Nations and/or Alaska Native youth ages 7-17 with an emphasis on girls apply for the N7 Fund grant from November 1, 2025, through January 6, 2026.
- Nike’s Social & Community Impact team and CAF America will conduct a thorough due diligence review of all organizations.
- Eligible organizations will be evaluated by an advisory board of NIKE, Inc. leaders and teammates.
- Organizations are notified about the status of their grant application by the end of May.
- Grant payments are disbursed (by CAF America) to selected nonprofits in June.
