Funding Opportunities. LA Community members. What about other city locations?

Sports organizations in your community may offer opportunities in major cities (LA, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, D.C., Baltimore, New York, Boston, etc.).

If communities of color artists and sports figures come from those communities, what better way to give back to community organizations doing the work, taking actions to address issues in their community.

Check out your local sports team in baseball, football, soccer, hockey, etc.

Don’t forget the other major area of music & entertainment that have established foundations to give back to the community in good times, and bad when disasters strike.
