Nike, Inc.<\/a> continues its commitment to various communities with its latest announcements of Black Community Commitment Grantees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the murder of George Floyd, the Swoosh launched its Black Community Commitment initiative. Since launching in June 2020, Nike has invested $28.9 million with national and city-specific partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Every day I am inspired by my teammates here at Nike who recognize the importance of the work we are doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m also inspired by the various organizations we partner with who are on the ground, in our communities, committed to creating change and combatting the inequities we all face daily.<\/p>\nKarol Collymore, Nike Senior Director of Inclusive Community for Social & Community Impact<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The brand announced its 2023 Black Community Commitment Grantees alongside its $8.9 million investment across 53 national and local nonprofit organizations focused on education innovation, economic empowerment, and social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Boston to Los Angeles, to Portland, and other cities, the 2023 recipients include three new national grantees such as\u00a0BUILD<\/a>,\u00a0Fearless Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0and the\u00a0National Coalition on Black Civic Participation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As a proud recipient of Nike’s Black Community Commitment grant, we are dedicated to empowering Black communities and advancing our shared goals of equity and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our organization’s mission to promote Black civic engagement and racial, economic, and social justice is anchored in building values-driven coalitions centered on women and youth empowerment, leadership development, health & wellness, education and global empowerment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When our community has a seat at the table, it benefits everyone in the nation.<\/p>\nMelanie Campbell, President & CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and Convener of the Black Women\u2019s Roundtable<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
