Women's Sports
Foundation Invites Applications for GoGirlGo! Grant Program Administered by the Women's Sports
Foundation, the GoGirlGo! Grant and Educational Program seeks
to maximize the use of sport/physical activity as an educational intervention
and social asset in order to enhance the wellness of girls as they navigate
between childhood and early womanhood. GoGirlGo! is dedicated to the
development and funding of girls' sports/physical activity programs that
combine athletic instruction and programming with the delivery of educational
information by qualified adults aimed at reducing risk behaviors that threaten
the health and social advancement of girls in third to eighth grade. The
GoGirlGo! educational curriculum is available free of
charge and must be ordered separately. The program provides financial
assistance to sports and physical activity programs seeking to add new or
expanded program participation opportunities for an under-served population of
girls, particularly economically disadvantaged girls and/or girls from
populations with high incidences of health-risk behaviors. To be eligible for the program,
applicants must be able to demonstrate the ability to deliver girls'
sport/physical activity programming to girls in third to eighth grade; deliver
a minimum eight-week sports/physical activity program, with preference given to
organizations that work consistently with girls throughout the year;
demonstrate that the program is administered by experienced and committed
adults; be tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (if
the program does not have nonprofit status, it may be possible to receive a
grant through a local fiscal agent); and demonstrate a commitment to the
GoGirlGo! educational curriculum, including completion
of a post-project attitudinal survey. The GoGirlGo! curriculum
may be implemented following receipt of a grant. A total of $200,000 will be
awarded. Visit the Women's Sports Foundation
