Nike: Make Moves Fund
Overview
The Make Moves Fund will provide £20,000 grants to UK-based creative community organisations for innovative programmes that use music and movement to encourage the least active girls to exercise in ways they enjoy.
The fund aims to improve the overall mental wellbeing, self-esteem and confidence of girls aged 10 to 17, particularly those from disadvantaged and Ethnic Minority backgrounds.
To be eligible, organisations must:
- Be either a UK-registered Charity or Community Interest Company.
- Have an annual income of no less than £40,000. This is to ensure that charities aren’t financially dependent on the grant to continue operating.
- Be able to report demonstrable impact and progress at the end of the six month grant period.
Although they welcome applications from organisations delivering new or innovative projects outside of the scope of their day-to-day programming, to be considered applicants must have a proven track record of at least one of the following areas:
- Working with girls aged 10-17.
- Delivering programmes to encourage people to be more active.
- Working with young people to improve their mental wellbeing.
