Brooklyn one of 12 cities to receive Nike Community Impact Fund
FLATBUSH — Swish!
The Nike Community Impact Fund, an initiative that began around a decade ago in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation of America, allows Nike store employees to nominate local schools and nonprofits for a grant to encourage kids in their communities to stay active.
Lucky for Brooklynites, the program started operating in the borough three years ago, and gives a total of $50,000 in local grants annually. It’s one of the 12 cities in the United States and Europe that Nike has awarded more than $7.4 million to since NCIF began.
