Mission 89 relies on research, education, advocacy, and partnerships to expose exploitation and strengthen athlete safeguarding. Support helps us investigate the issue, produce trusted resources, and move institutions toward practical action.

Independent research remains central to Mission 89’s work. Research support helps fund investigations, evidence gathering, reporting, policy engagement, and awareness-building materials that can reach athletes, families, federations, educators, and decision-makers. It also strengthens the case for reform by making the issue harder to ignore.
Flexible support gives Mission 89 room to respond where the need is greatest. It allows the organisation to strengthen campaigns, expand educational work, support policy engagement, and keep momentum across multiple programmes without being limited to one project stream.
Partnerships and Collaborations
We welcome collaboration with research institutions, sport bodies, civil society organisations, legal experts, media platforms, and mission-aligned partners. Partnerships can take the form of co-hosted events, research collaboration, campaign amplification, knowledge sharing, training delivery, or strategic support.
Mission 89 benefits from professionals who bring subject-matter expertise in child rights, anti-trafficking, EU law, safeguarding, communications, policy, fundraising, and sport governance. If you have skills, networks, or specialist knowledge that can strengthen the work, we would like to hear from you.
