Nike takes action to create a better world by investing in more active, inclusive communities, starting with the cities where they live, work and operate.
The Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF) is designed to empower local organizations worldwide with financial resources, prioritizing initiatives that encourage youth participation in play and sport. The program emphasizes a neighborhood-focused, employee-led approach, where a committee of Nike volunteers from various departments, including retail and logistics, plays a pivotal role in assessing grant applications and selecting recipients. This process ensures that decisions benefit from local insights and community needs. Specifically, in Belgium, the NCIF offers financial aid to sports clubs or associations in Antwerp, Limburg, or Flemish Brabant that work with vulnerable young people, supporting causes such as social justice and combating poverty.
