Youth Athletic Equipment Fund

About this opportunity

A local club can cost a family more per year than a modest grant can cover — cleats, fees, transport to games. The Equipment Fund pays those direct costs so a child stays on the team, and additionally supports coaching and officiating at volunteer-run clubs.
