Youth Club Grant Application

Youth track & field and running clubs are invited to apply for financial assistance. Applications for a Youth Club Grant will be accepted throughout the year and grants will be awarded in February.

Preference will be given to clubs that are affiliated with USATF.

At this time the Foundation is unable to accept facility requests such as track resurfacing, funding for new tracks, etc. As much as we would like to be able to assist with these important inquires it is out of scope for our Foundation at this time.
