GoGirlGo! Grants

Program Supports Girl Athletes in Middle School

The 2008 awards cycle is now closed to submissions.
Please check back in January 2009.

Sponsored by the Women's Sports Foundation, GoGirlGo! Grants provide financial assistance to sports/physical activity programs seeking to add new or expand program participation opportunities for an under-served population of girls ages 8–13, particularly economically disadvantaged girls, and/or girls from populations with high incidences of health-risk behaviors.

Delivery of a minimum 8-week sports/physical activity program is required, along with implementation of the free GoGirlGo! curriculum.

Girl-serving organizations (schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, non-profit organizations, YWCAs, etc.) may apply, although preference is given to organizations that work consistently with girls throughout the year. A total of $430,000 will be awarded. (In 2007, the average grant awarded was $5,700.)

Visit www.womenssportsfoundation.org/cgi-bin/iowa/funding/featured.html?record=40 for guidelines and an application form. The deadline to apply is May 9, 2008.

Note: The Women's Sports Foundation and Gatorade also offer the GoGirlGo! Ambassador Team Awards for girls in grades 9–12.
