Partner Organization Grant Application

Partner Organization Grant Application
Thanks to the generosity of community donors and sponsors, the NYSPHSAA Foundation is proud to offer annual grant opportunities to schools and partner organizations. The Foundation is presently focusing efforts towards increasing student participating opportunities, coaches professional development, and the recruitment and retention of sports officials. In order to maximize the value of our funding, programs and projects must be sustainable through future budgets and/or provide a lasting impact. Grant funds may be used to expand existing programs through innovative improvements or develop new ones.

The NYSPHSAA Foundation is accepting applications from member schools and interscholastic athletics partner organizations. Our hope is that these grants will help you improve the experience for the students, coaches, and officials in your area.

Grant amounts will depend on available funds raised each year. We are currently able to award grants up to $1,000.

Grant Application Criteria
• Applications must be submitted at least 90 days prior to funding need.
• Applicant must provide a detailed list of how the grant will be used.
• Signature from the organization President or Executive Director is required for consideration.
• Photos are required if requesting funds to be used toward equipment or facility upgrades.
• Grant recipients will be required to complete an evaluation following completion.

Grant Restrictions
Grants will not be issued for the following:
• Funds to start a new program without the commitment by the Board to sustain the program.
• Recurring annual expenses normally covered by other means (e.g. travel expenses, officials fees, etc).
• Team awards, parties, banquets, etc.
• Direct monetary, equipment, or resource donations by an organization to an outside group.
• Purchases made in the past.
• More than one grant issued per organization per year.

Grant Approval Considerations
• Has the applicant clearly communicated a need, and does the proposal identify specifically how the need will be addressed?
• How many students will be impacted by the funding?
• What other sources for funding have been explored and requested?
• What are the long-term benefits to the NYSPHSAA membership?

All applications will be reviewed and evaluated quarterly by the Board of Directors and NYSPHSAA Foundation Director. Applicants will receive a response pertaining to their application as soon as is reasonably possible.

For more information on NYSPHSAA Foundation grants and the application process, contact the office at 518-690-0771 or foundation@nysphsaa.org.

Grant applications received prior to March 5 will be reviewed on March 13.
The most common reason grant requests are denied is that project managers submit applications that do not meet our criteria. Please ensure you have thoroughly reviewed the requirements before proceeding.
