Anchor Impact - Vanderbilt Commodores Collective

The Anchor Impact Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation formed for charitable and educational purposes to promote community engagement and strengthen local community charitable organizations and initiatives with Vanderbilt student-athletes. It was announced in April 2023 that the Anchor Collective was merging with the Anchor Impact Fund. The Anchor Impact Fund says it provides opportunities for Vanderbilt student-athletes to learn about community and civic engagement and use their name, image and likeness to participate in and promote local charitable causes. “This initiative will also bring much-needed public awareness and attention primarily to underserved local community organizations and initiatives,” the group says on its website. “Our student-athletes are people of character who are committed to advocating for their communities and leveraging their platform for good. By partnering with charitable organizations who are Anchor Impact Fund partners, they can use name, image and likeness opportunities to become purposeful leaders.”
