Return to Play Fund

Return to Play Fund is a collaborative fund in partnership between ESPN and Beyond Sport that supports Black and Brown youth and the community sports organizations that serve them across the U.S. The Fund looks to center health, wellbeing and systemic solutions to the heart of community recovery and ensure that Black and Brown youth are not further disadvantaged, supporting a range of non-profit community sport organizations across the country that are not only dedicated to getting young people of color moving again, but also committed to providing them with guidance and opportunities to grow, succeed and be confident in their abilities. They are looking for funding partners to support and inspire Black and Brown youth who have been challenged the most by the pandemic. [5]
