NBA理事会今天宣布，它将提供3亿美元的初始资金，以建立有史以来第一个NBA基金会，致力于在黑人社区创造更大的经济权力。该基金会正在与美国国家篮球运动员协会（National Basketball Players Association）合作成立。
在接下来的10年中，30个NBA球队的老板将共同贡献3000万美元，每年建立一个新的，全联盟慈善基金会。通过其使命，通过就业和职业发展推动黑人社区的经济赋权，NBA基金会将寻求增加进入和支持高中，为美国和加拿大的NBA市场和社区提供技能培训、指导、指导和渠道开发的国家和地方组织提供帮助。作为一个公共慈善机构，该基金会还将致力于与营销和媒体合作伙伴进行战略合作，以开发更多的节目和资金来源，加深NBA大家庭对种族平等和社会公正的承诺
该基金会将重点放在三个关键的就业过渡点上：获得第一份工作、高中或大学毕业后的就业和就业后的职业发展。通过捐款，NBA基金会将加强和发展致力于教育和就业的国家和地方组织的工作，包括通过投资于青年就业和实习项目、STEM领域、工作阴影和学徒制、传统高等教育之外的发展途径、职业安置、专业指导、网络和与历史上黑人学院和大学的具体合作关系。
“我谨代表NBA理事会宣布NBA基金会的成立，NBA董事会主席兼多伦多猛龙队理事长拉里•塔恩鲍姆说：“所有NBA球队的管理者都认识到我们在实现变革方面的独特地位，我们致力于在我们的每个球队市场以及美国和加拿大的社区中支持和增强年轻黑人男女的能力。”
“创建这个基金会是发展黑人社区更多机会的重要一步，”NBPA主席克里斯·保罗说，“我为我们的联盟和我们的球员们为长期致力于平等正义的承诺感到骄傲，我知道我们将继续寻找方法，继续推动有意义的体制改革。”
该基金会将直接与所有30个团队、其附属慈善组织和NBPA合作，支持国家组织及其当地分支机构以及当地基层组织，以促进可持续规划和团队市场的变革。
“鉴于NBA的资源和令人难以置信的平台，我们有能力构思、实施和支持实质性政策，这些政策反映了我们所信奉的平等和公正的核心原则，NBPA执行董事Michele Roberts说，“这个基金会将为我们提供一个框架，使我们能够对这些原则保持承诺和负责。”

NBA Pledges $300M For Foundation Dedicated To Economic Empowerment In Black Community
原文：
The NBA Board of Governors announced today that it will contribute $300 million in initial funding to establish the first-ever NBA Foundation dedicated to creating greater economic empowerment in the Black community. The Foundation is being launched in partnership with the National Basketball Players Association.
Over the next 10 years, the 30 NBA team owners will collectively contribute $30 million annually to establish a new, leaguewide charitable foundation. Through its mission to drive economic empowerment for Black communities through employment and career advancement, the NBA Foundation will seek to increase access and support for high school, college-aged and career-ready Black men and women, and assist national and local organizations that provide skills training, mentorship, coaching and pipeline development in NBA markets and communities across the United States and Canada. As a public charity, the Foundation will also aim to work strategically with marketing and media partners to develop additional programming and funding sources that deepen the NBA family’s commitment to racial equality and social justice.
The Foundation will focus on three critical employment transition points: obtaining a first job, securing employment following high school or college, and career advancement once employed. Through contributions, the NBA Foundation will enhance and grow the work of national and local organizations dedicated to education and employment, including through investment in youth employment and internship programs, STEM fields, job shadows and apprenticeships, development pathways outside of traditional higher education, career placement, professional mentorship, networking and specific partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
“On behalf of the NBA Board of Governors, I am thrilled to announce the creation of the NBA Foundation,” said NBA Board of Governors Chairman and Toronto Raptors Governor Larry Tanenbaum. “All NBA team governors recognize our unique position to effect change and we are committed to supporting and empowering young Black men and women in each of our team markets as well as communities across the U.S. and Canada.”
“The creation of this foundation is an important step in developing more opportunities for the Black community,” said NBPA President Chris Paul. “I am proud of our league and our players for their commitment to this long-term fight for equality and justice, and I know we will continue to find ways to keep pushing for meaningful institutional change."
The Foundation will work directly with all 30 teams, their affiliated charitable organizations and the NBPA to support national organizations and their local affiliates as well as local grassroots organizations to facilitate sustainable programming and create change in team markets.
“Given the resources and incredible platform of the NBA, we have the power to ideate, implement and support substantive policies that reflect the core principles of equality and justice we embrace,” said NBPA Executive Director Michele Roberts. “This Foundation will provide a framework for us to stay committed and accountable to these principles.”
