On Thursday, the New England Revolution organization unveiled the New England Revolution Players Collaborative Fund.
The fund was created for Revolution players to help support various organizations in the New England area to create meaningful change in their local communities. A committee of Revolution players, including Black Players for Change co-founder Earl Edwards Jr. will overlook the fund’s operations.
The New England Revolution Players Collaborative Fund will begin awarding $20,000 grants on a bi-monthly basis, thanks to owner Robert Kraft. The money will be awarded to local grassroots campaigns as they promote equality and end systemic racism.
