Grants

Established in 2008, the USATF-NE Grant Program promotes excellence in USATF disciplines by supporting athletes, clubs, and programs of the association, with an objective of increasing membership, participation, and status of the sport.

The grant program is open to USATF members and/or USATF-NE member clubs only, and has three aspects - programs, travel/coaching, and youth.

Due dates for all grant types are generally April 15, August 15, and December 15 of the year. Decisions are made shortly after those dates. Each grant type has application requirements that must be followed, and each has an annual award amount limit.
 
Complete information and applications for grants are found below. Contact USATF-NE board member Amanda Watters  with any questions on the programs.
