About the Gatorade Equity in Sports Community Grant Program
Launched in Spring 2022, the Gatorade Equity in Sports Community Grant Program is a vital component of Gatorade’s broader initiative to ensure equity and access for all athletes. The program focuses on three core areas:

Gatorade collaborates with national organizations, such as Athlete Ally, Good Sports, Honest Game Foundation, Laureus USA, Move United, Up2Us Sports, and the Women’s Sports Foundation, to co-develop programming, measures, and actions that advance equity in sports.
