The Power of Sport. Evaluation of Projects in the Field of Physical Culture and Grassroots Sport

In 2020, the Vladimir Potanin Foundation launched the “Power of Sport,” a charitable initiative aimed at uncovering the potential of sports as a social institution. In preparing the launch of the program, the Foundation experts had to study the experience of evaluating project effectiveness, in both an international and Russian context — as well as develop approaches to the selection of promising development areas, including identification and evaluation of effects. To address these problems, the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation conducted a study in 2022 aimed at identifying the effects achieved through the implementation of social sports projects and summarizing the approaches used to evaluate them.
