Jags Impact - South Alabama Jaguars Collective

Jags Impact is a non-profit organization with pending tax-exempt status. Jags Impact will look to pair South Alabama student-athletes with various charities, with the goal of benefiting both. It was founded in September 2022 and leaders say they've modeled their collective after Hoosiers For Life – the 501(c)(3) collective focused on Indiana. “We think that when you allow athletes to use their notoriety, their social media platform, and then also to use their time to partner with various charities in the community, that it’s teaching them how to be community leaders,” Mark Spivey, Jags Impact board president, told AL.com. “When you take an athlete that might be passionate about a certain cause, and then you allow them to use their influence in the community to promote that particular cause, and at the same time being able to earn an income as a student-athlete, we feel like it’s a win-win, for the charity and for the athlete.”
