In 2014, Doc Rivers asked his new boss Steve Ballmer what he did now “other than own the Clippers?” “He said, ‘I give money away.’ It made me sit up, like, well, pardon me?”
Amid players and team staff testing positive for COVID-19, the NBA heads to Orlando knowing its setup for the season might not be good enough.
Grants typically last at least three years and the funds’ use is unrestricted. Befitting Ballmer’s tech background, data is used to vet organizations and track their progress. Organizations with national reach, such as Teach for America’s Black Educators Initiative, the Equal Justice Initiative and Woke Vote and Push Black, also have received funding.“They understand it’s not just a check,” Bremond Weaver said.
“They really prepared me on how you may have a life plan but other things may come between that, and how to adapt and really push forward,” Hunt said. “It is really changing kids’ lives.”Most philanthropy organizations direct their funds toward specific issues, or specific regions, said Katherina Rosqueta, the executive director of the Center for High Impact Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania.
As L.A. outsiders, Connie Ballmer said they understood if there was skepticism about their goals. The couple stressed that they’ve never claimed to be experts, only listeners. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti greets Steve Ballmer during an announcement that the Clippers Foundation was contributing $10 million to renovate 350 basketball courts around the city.
