MIES (Switzerland) – The FIBA Foundation, the social and legacy arm of FIBA, is pleased to announce the launch of its annual call for projects through the “Propose a Project” platform, starting on January 15 until March 31.
The FIBA Foundation believes that basketball can serve as a catalyst to empower, educate, and inspire youth through the implementation of Basketball For Good projects around the world. Through the “Propose a Project” initiative, the FIBA Foundation supports projects that align with its vision and mission and invites the global basketball community to submit applications.
The “Propose a Project” platform aims to expand the Basketball For Good family by endorsing projects that leverage basketball to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By utilizing basketball as a catalyst for positive change, the Foundation aspires to make a meaningful impact in communities worldwide.

Applicants are encouraged to identify one of the five project categories when seeking support from the FIBA Foundation. These categories include Health & Wellbeing, Equality & Inclusion, Culture and Education, Peace and Conflict Resolution and Climate & Environment.
Supported projects will receive financial, equipment, and/or mentoring support and join the wider Basketball For Good community with additional opportunities for exchange, mentoring, and support.
