Areas of Impact
Below is our approach to celebrating and supporting Black Women and Girls in sports!
01
Leadership Development
Our programs provide Black Women and Girls with access to personal, athletic, and professional development experiences.
We achieve this by power-building: cultivating skills, creating opportunities for collaboration, and connecting our members with resources.
02
Giving Circle
The Squad Giving Circle is a key part of our commitment
to provide tangible support to Black Girls and Women in sports.
The Squad awards 2 microgrants a year to one of the following:
-
A Black female student-athlete
-
A Black Woman in a sports leadership position
-
A Black Woman-owned, led , or Black Girl-serving organization
Our goal is to positively impact operations, marketing and/or innovation efforts.
With less than 2% of all institutional philanthropy dollars from foundations going to Black-led nonprofit organizations, we started this grassroots collective giving platform to encourage group economics, cultivate Black philanthropists, and diversify the philanthropy sector.
03
Advocacy
We ensure that Black Women and Girls in sports are able to have their voices heard on issues that are important to us.
