New publication: Towards sustainable Sport for Development organisations

Sport & Society conducted research in collaboration with the International Sports Alliance (ISA) about financial sustainability of Sport for Development (SfD) organisations.

Sport for Development (SfD) is a growing sector with considerable positive impact on lives in underprivileged communities worldwide. However, many SfD organisations aren’t financially sustainable. This makes their future uncertain, which in turn threatens the process of development they support.

The crucial question then is: How can such programmes and projects become more financially sustainable? The publication explores this question through a literature review and a study of effective practices of seven SfD organisations across the globe.
