Who Can Earn a Community Grant
Any non-profit youth sports organization or educational athletic program can earn a Responsible Sports Community Grant, but an organization can only receive a grant once.
Fifteen youth sport organizations with the most credited certifications will earn a Responsible Sports Community Grant to help defray the many costs of running a successful youth sports program. But don't think that just because you are a small organization you cannot earn a grant. Organizations are split into three groups or divisions.
The divisions for the Responsible Sports Community Grant program are as follows:
- Large organizations (100+ players)
Compete for one of five (5) $2,500 grants - Small organizations (under 100 players)
Compete for one of five (5) $2,500 grants - School/educational organizations (school athletic programs)
Compete for one of five (5) $2,500 grants

Organizations must serve the community at large and must be open to the general public, without bias, prejudice or discrimination regarding participation.
