Sports Philanthropy Network

We build STRONGER, HEALTHIER and MORE INCLUSIVE communities through sports.

By providing media coverage and spotlighting the outstanding work of athletes, sports foundations and other sports non-profits, we elevate the profile of the sports philanthropy sector through our podcasts, research and community resources.

The Sports Philanthropy Network provides professional development programs and educational resources including the Sports Philanthropy Webinar series, the Sports Philanthropy Podcast, our Event Calendar, our blog resources and our annual
Sports Philanthropy World Conference.

We all know that sports have a special power to bring people together and we love sharing the exciting successes.  If you have information about upcoming events or other organizations which are doing great work, please let us know via email to Roy Kessel at rkessel@sportsloop.com

We love helping organizations that are using sports for social change, equality, justice, education, opportunity and empowerment.

Fundraising

Fundraising is critical to all non-profit organizations.  It is the lifeblood of their programming.

All too often, organizations fail to take a systematic approach to their fundraising efforts, leaving the success at the mercy of a laundry list of variables.  Creating a structured giving program and training your board on the best solicitation techniques can pay enormous dividends for your organization.

Ask Roy Kessel about innovative programs that can help your  organization by emailing to him at rkessel@sportsloop.com

Education and Programs

The substance of any non-profit is the education it provides and the programs that it runs.  We strongly commend the organizations that undertake these critical tasks and give back to the community.

Roy Kessel has been involved in creating educational events and programs for a wide variety of organizations whose missions include sports, leadership, social justice, education, law, media, business and technology.
