Help Us Tell the Stories of Football For Good
Be part of a team empowering the Football For Good movement, telling stories and amplifying voices.
Football has the power to transform lives, build communities, and drive social change around the world. At bonito.football, the editorial platform of Bonito Foundation, we're documenting these stories—and we need voices like yours to help us tell them.
Whether you want to become a regular contributor or share a single powerful story, there's a place for you in our editorial team.
Why Your Voice Matters
The Football For Good movement is growing, and many incredible stories need to be told.
By contributing to Bonito, you'll:
- Amplify important voices – Share stories from individuals, organizations, and communities using football as a force for good
- Shape the narrative – Help define how the world understands football's social impact
- Join a mission-driven community – Connect with passionate editors and contributors who care about the intersection of sport and social change
- Build your portfolio – Get published on a respected platform, reaching the Football For Good movement
- Make real impact – Your stories inspire action, connect organizations, and drive the movement forward
We're Just Getting Started
Bonito Foundation was registered in late 2024, and we’re launching in autumn 2025 with a bold mission: to become the go-to editorial platform for the Football For Good movement.
We're writers, fans, and activists documenting a movement we believe in. We're building this from the ground up, and we're looking for volunteers who want to be part of something meaningful from day one.
This is your chance to shape what Bonito becomes, not just contribute to something already established.
