Youth Football Fund Grassroots Program



Yes, I realize how ridiculous it seems to put this on a blog devoted to libraries.

But I can't help thinking to myself, "How many times has the librarian sat in a big meeting and The Coach or Athletic Director says, 'You get me a football field and I'll pack your library study hall every day!' or something like that."

Probably never, but there's no harm in putting this out there. Just knowing it exists is interesting.

This funding address the shortage of clean, safe, and accessible football fields in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods by providing financial and technical assistance to nonprofit neighborhood-based organizations working to improve local football fields. 

Multiples grants ranging from $50,000 up to $200,000 are available to select applicants. Nonprofit organizations, middle, and high schools serving low- and moderate-income neighborhoods are eligible to apply. Deadline: March 15, 2013
