Roy Kessel, Founder, Sports Philanthropy Network

We build STRONGER, HEALTHIER and MORE INCLUSIVE communities through sports.

Sports Philanthropy Network creates social impact by building collaborations with athletes, foundations, community sports nonprofits and larger sports organizations (teams, leagues, governing bodies, associations, universities, etc.).

Sports Philanthropy Network builds stronger, healthier and more inclusive communities by: (1) amplifying the community and philanthropic work of athletes and sports organizations; (2) connecting nonprofits to the people, resources and technologies that they need to be successful; and (3) providing professional development and educational programs (such as the Sports Philanthropy Academy and Resilience Alliances) which serving as a resource and training ground for global nonprofits.

With programming established in over 20 United States markets since 2023, Sports Philanthropy Network continues its expansion with an eye towards launching international programming in 2026.
