Nike Corporate Philanthropy for Physical Education
Part of Nike's corporate giving focuses on programs that support youth and physical activity, and the positive effects of the two when they are truly in sync. Programs should increase and promote physical activity in some way - indoor, outdoors or both -- whether it's something as traditional as soccer or a basketball camp, the fluidity and passion of dance, or jumping rope, riding a unicycle or something completely fresh and new. Applicants must be nonprofit organizations and may not be faith-based. Eligible proposals are reviewed throughout the year.
