The Double Bottom Line
Raise the Game. Be Monumental.
It’s not just a tag line, it is the call-to-action for our company to become the most valuable, most impactful, most socially responsible, world-class, championship sports and entertainment brand in the world.
Monumental Sports & Entertainment recognizes that owning professional sports franchises carries a public trust and we have a duty to support our local communities.
Our players, coaches and employees live by our double-bottom line philosophy, where we strike to do well as business while also finding ways to serve a larger purpose by contributing to society, protecting our environment and creating prosperity and opportunity for the local community.
We believe the opportunity to give back enriches the relationship between a sports team, its fans and their communities. Ultimately, we want our franchises and our players to be a source of tremendous pride for communities and fans around the world.
Most importantly we can bring investment, regeneration and employment to our area.
The innovations we create and the extraordinary experiences we enable are designed to benefit the entire D.C. population.

What is Social Impact?
In October 2019, we launched the MSE’s Social Impact program and for the 2019-20 season. We reimagined our philanthropic giving to move from disparate giving to a monthly, focused campaign which we believe would have a deeper community impact. We saw great initial success, but just five months after launching, the COVID-19 pandemic altered our plans.
The Social Impact program was always intended to be fan-facing: to energize and translate into action the nearly 20,000 fans who are at Capital One Arena during the more than 80 home games between the Caps and Wizards and the thousands of fans who attended the more than 50 home games of both the Mystics and Capital City Go-Go at Entertainment and Sports Arena.
Without that audience, the program was put on hold as Capital One Arena and Entertainment and Sports Arena remained dark – and then extended through the 2021-2022 season as uncertainty from the Covid-19 pandemic lingered.
As our business continues to recover from pandemic-induced losses, we look forward to reengaging the program in future seasons. But we are incredibly proud of our success and know it made a measurable impact in the lives of our neighbors.

2020 Partnership
Recap - When We All Vote
Through our partnership with When We All Vote and our online voter registration efforts – we registered nearly 500 people for the 2020 election cycle.
Nearly 50 people we registered in-person during our voter registration drive with DC Board of Elections at Entertainment & Sports Arena on Oct. 13, 2020 and more than a dozen through the WNBA teams challenge organized by our Mystics.
See the recap here.
Our teams put out social media messages to encourage registration, early vote, direct fans to request-and-return absentee ballots and turnout safely in person during Early Voting and on Election Day.
Beyond that, our players personally put out social media posts, recorded PSAs, and promoted dozens of posts encouraging greater civic engagement – including John Wall, Bradley Beal, Natasha Cloud, and John Carlson.
DC BOE sent out postcard mailers to all DC households with our team logos and encouraging people to turnout to vote.
Nearly 4,500 people voted in-person at Capital One Arena and ESA during Early Voting and on Election Day – with thousands more who used the secure drop boxes at both arenas.
Media from national and local outlets as well as reporters from across the world came to Capital One Arena to learn about how our athletes stepped up to use their platform, understand how efficiently and safely we designed our operation and capture our voting work for the community.
Nearly a dozen of our own staff were trained by DCBOE and volunteered throughout Early Voting and on Election Day at Capital One Arena.
