The N7 Fund

The N7 Fund was created by Nike in 2007 to unleash the human potential of Native American and Aboriginal youth through the power of sport. By providing grants and product donations, the N7 Fund helps to fuel opportunities for these youth to engage in sports and physical activity so they can benefit from the rewards of this positive impact in their lives and in their communities.

Our Mission

Nike N7 is committed to inspiring and enabling participation in sport for Native American and Aboriginal populations in North America. We believe that sport has the power to unleash human potential. A physically active lifestyle promotes more than exercise. Involvement in sports and physical activity leads to greater self-confidence, enabling youth to be a force for positive change in their communities.
