Discover the Ways You Can Contribute

If celebrities can sell sneakers and perfume by the truckload,
why not use that same influence to encourage charitable giving
and support charitable causes? Help us expand our outreach.





When you support The Giving Back Fund you are helping us reach out to
the sports and entertainment communities to engage them in effective
philanthropy.  This means you are supporting our programs as well as
supporting the Foundations and causes with whom we work.  We are the
engine that keeps these foundations running:

Need more reasons to support The Giving Back Fund? Here are a few:

  1. Women, people of color, and youth have historically been
    underrepresented in traditional philanthropy but are a formidable
    presence in the sports and entertainment economy. By targeting
    this new group of donors, The Giving Back Fund is helping to create
    new pools of philanthropic dollars and directing them to the causes
    that need them most.
  2. There is no question about it --- celebrities are role-models to the
    general public, particularly young people. By increasing the
    authentic charitable commitment of professional athletes and
    entertainers, we are teaching the next generation about the
    importance of giving back.
  3. If we inspire just a few celebrities to become fully engaged in
    philanthropy that could equal hundreds of millions of new
    philanthropic dollars or more! If each generation of professional
    athletes and entertainers had just five philanthropists the likes of
    Andre Agassi, Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, Bono, and Paul
    Newman that would produce as much as 1 billion in additional
    charitable dollars per generation.  
  4. Without professional philanthropic management, many well-
    intentioned athletes and celebrities see their charitable dollars
    misdirected and their charitable programs inefficiently managed.  
    The Giving Back Fund exists to help ensure that more charitable
    dollars are directed to people in need, and less to overhead and
    irresponsible expenses.
