Grant guides
Funding programs for youth sports teams
One guide per program. We publish a figure only after it's verified against the primary source — you'll see the badge and the date on every one.
Help for families with registration fees
The fastest money in youth sports goes to families, not leagues — up to $150 per child toward registration. Parents apply; the funds pay your league. Here are the programs that are open now.
VerifiedFree equipment for your league
The easiest win in youth sports isn't a cash grant — it's donated gear. Two national programs give brand-new equipment, neither requires a 501(c)(3), and one's fall cycle is open right now.
VerifiedCash grants for leagues & clubs
When you need dollars, not gear, this is the field — from a $1,000 micro-grant any team can apply for to invitation-only foundation money. Verified to each funder, with the honest odds.
VerifiedLocal & civic money for fields and teams
The most reliable funding for a local team is local: service clubs that fund youth projects through their members, and the parks department that already owns your field. Here's how to reach both.
VerifiedBooster readiness & the 990-N trap
The paperwork question decides which grants you can even apply for — and one overlooked filing quietly disqualifies leagues every year. Here's what to have in place. General information, not legal or tax advice.
