Louisville, Kentucky; March 7, 2024:

Sport + Impact Group (SIG) and NSI Consultants of Ft Lauderdale, Florida have announced that the companies have entered a strategic partnership that will help increase social and economic impact to SIG projects in Louisville and new markets, while also providing technology and resources to help scale these projects.

The agreement brings together two businesses that will work together to realize the socio-economic benefits of the sport of soccer and bring innovative approaches and products to new audiences.

The partnership will also focus on bringing the socio-economic values of the future to underserved communities in Kentucky and building cross-cultural relationships.

“We are very excited about the potential of working with NSI Consultants and collaborating on innovative projects," said Mae Marks, founder and CEO of SIG. The company was created in 2020 to broaden and deepen the business investment and social impact of professional soccer teams in Kentucky.

NSI Consultants is committed to supporting businesses and nonprofits alike through social investment. In order to assist businesses with their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, NSI Consultants provides strategies to create sustainable growth. In addition, NSI creates relationships between the nonprofit sector and private sector by creating relationships and projects for greater social impact.

“We believe that this is an opportunity for SIG to more fully explore how they can utilize and further develop their wide network of relationships, earned from many years of working in the sport domestically and internationally. Soccer is the world’s favorite game and SIG is a leader in developing new ways it can be the model for important social and economic advances,” said Alan Smith, Director of International Operations at NSI Consultants. “Collaborating with SIG also activates our own global network in Latin America and Europe.”
