Financial support for non-profits and community organizations in Amsterdam, Amersfoort, Hilversum, and Utrecht to promote youth sports and build active, inclusive communities.
What is it about?
Create stronger communities in the Netherlands through the power of sport
If your organization delivers projects in Amsterdam, Amersfoort, Hilversum or Utrecht with the aim of powering the future of youth sport, you may be eligible to apply for a grant of up to €20,000.
Globally, only 1 in 5 youth gets the physical activity they need to thrive, with girls and youth from underserved communities moving the least. However, research shows that active youth are healthier, happier and more successful in school and in life. That’s why the Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF) provides financial support to local programs and grassroots organizations that promote active and inclusive communities in the Netherlands.
If you have a project that inspires all youth to play and achieve their greatest potential in the communities of Amsterdam, Utrecht, Hilversum and Amersfoort, send us your application!
