Introducing Impact Play
Your Go-To Hub for Sports Philanthropy Insights!
Hey everyone! I’m beyond excited to announce the launch of our brand-new blog, Impact Play! Starting September 1, 2024, we’re bringing you dynamic insights into the world where sports, philanthropy, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) intersect. We’re talking about a weekly dose (maybe even more!) of everything you need to know if you’re passionate about using sports and entertainment as a force for good.
What You Can Expect from Impact Play
Impact Play is all about diving deep into the incredible ways sports can create positive change. We’ll be bringing you:
In-Depth Analysis of Sports Philanthropy
I’ll be sharing case studies and white papers on the athletes, teams, and entertainers who are doing it right. We’ll explore their strategies, the challenges they face, and the real impact they’re making. My goal is to help you learn from the best and give you the tools to make a difference, whether you’re supporting an athlete, running a nonprofit, or just someone with a passion to help.
Fundraising Strategies That Work
One thing I’ve noticed is that there’s a huge misconception out there – people think that just because someone is an athlete or an entertainer, they don’t need to worry about fundraising. That’s so far from the truth! Everyone needs a solid, diverse fundraising plan. We’ll be breaking down what that looks like, how to build multiple streams of income, and why self-funding alone won’t cut it.
Spotlight on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
We’ll also explore how brands are stepping up and partnering with sports teams and athletes to support social causes. It’s not just about writing a check – it’s about creating meaningful, sustainable impact. We’ll give you a look at the best CSR strategies and how they align with both business goals and community needs.
Interviews and Guest Contributions
I’m super excited to bring in voices from all over the sports philanthropy space – not just those here at Jones Consulting. You’ll hear from athletes, CSR professionals, nonprofit leaders, and others who are making a difference. We’ll also welcome guest writers who can offer fresh perspectives and unique insights!
Real-World Examples and Educational Tools
I’m all about giving you tangible, real-world examples and tools you can actually use. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game for a while, you’ll find step-by-step guides, templates, and resources to help you make a real impact.
