The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) is calling on basketball enthusiasts all over the country to apply for FIBA Foundation’s “Propose a Project” program. 

With FIBA’s belief “that basketball can serve as a catalyst to empower, educate, and inspire youth through the implementation of Basketball For Good projects all over the world,” it aims to support projects aligned with this vision and mission leading to the launch of the Propose a Project platform. 

Forty two projects from 35 countries were achieved in 2023 and the program will continue taking on applications until March 31. Applicants must identify one of five project categories: Basketball for Health and Wellbeing, for Equality and Inclusion, for Culture and Education, for Peace and Conflict Resolution, or for Climate and Environment. 

“We at the SBP would like to encourage all basketball stakeholders in the Philippines to apply for the grant,” said Executive Director Erika Dy. “We are aware that many Filipinos are already using basketball for good and we would like them to tap into FIBA Foundation’s resources to push their projects forward and maximize the impact in their respective communities.”

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.
