Beyond Sport

Beyond Sport is a global organization that seeks to promote the role sport can play in creating sustainable social change.[1][2]


Beyond Sport Foundation and Beyond Sport Global Awards

The Beyond Sport Foundation is a 501(c)(3) registered charity that celebrates, supports, raises awareness and provides funding for organizations using sport to help make the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG’s) a reality.

Through the Beyond Sport Global Awards, the Beyond Sport Foundation has supported over 180 organizations worldwide over the past 9 years, providing over $700,000 in cash funding, and distributing over $6 million in strategic support. Each Award category promotes one or more of the UNSDG’s so every organization that submits an application must show that they are delivering meaningful impact towards these respective goals.

The organizations they celebrate and reward showcase best practice on the ways sport is being used to create positive social change in communities around the world. Every organization that makes the shortlist has successfully showcased how they align and work towards one or more of the UNSDG’s.

Beyond Sport United

Beyond Sport United showcases how teams, their brands and their historic resonance have the profound ability to become hubs of positive influence and resource in their communities.

Backed by the major U.S. Leagues - MLB, MLS, NHL, NFL, NBA & WNBA - Beyond Sport United is an annual one-day event that brings together sport-led social innovators and global leaders around the role of teams and leagues in creating positive social change.

Beyond Innovation

Beyond Innovation is an annual one-day event, in partnership with the San Francisco 49ers, bringing together influencers, decision-makers and change makers from around the world to explore how sports can be leveraged as a tool to improve, empower and create new approaches to STEM education.

The partnership was launched in 2017, forming the first ever global Sport & STEM Alliance, a coalition of like-minded, leading global organizations driving innovation in STEM education through sports.
