The USATF Foundation youth initiative seeks to support and expand high quality programs that attract diverse ethnic and socio-economic youth and that promote character building, education, active healthy and drug free behaviors, including event participation in track and field and cross country/road running.

The Foundation favors the use of grant money to expand existing youth programs/clubs, to provide additional competitive opportunities for children and to enhance the experience for all participants. Preference is given to clubs that are based in low-income areas. It also favors programs that have a history of solid financial management, multiple funding sources and community support. Allowable expenses include equipment, uniforms, meet fees, travel, facility rental, staff and volunteer training, and outreach. Additionally, all grant recipients will be asked to promote and embrace the principles of USATF's Win With Integrity program.

The USA Track & Field Foundation does not discriminate, in its youth club grant selection process, on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, marital status, sex, disability, age, gender identity or sexual orientation of any club member or staff.

Interested clubs must complete the USATF Foundation Youth Grant Application.

PLEASE NOTE: APPLICATIONS FOR A YOUTH CLUB GRANT WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. HOWEVER, THE TWO PRIMARY DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSION ARE MAY 1ST & DECEMBER 1ST. AWARD DECISIONS WILL BE MADE BY JUNE 1ST AND EARLY JANUARY.
