Request a Grant Writer

Grants ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 to Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan nonprofit organizations for programs and projects that support the wellness and fitness of children in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Funding is intended to promote programs that facilitate participation in an organization’s exercise, sports, and/or physical recreation program.

Priority will be given to projects that encourage activities during warm weather months. Preference will be placed on programs incorporating an educational component that enables participants to learn skills associated with healthy lifestyles.

Funds may be used to cover a participant’s league/enrollment fees, transportation, equipment, uniform costs and program materials. Funds may also be requested for costs associated with maintaining or rehabilitating sporting venues like baseball diamonds, football fields or other similar facilities.
