Grant Funding Program to Support Girls and Women In Sports in Oregon (USA)
GrantID: 72448
Grant Funding Amount Low: $5,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $25,000
Summary
A community-focused grant is available to support nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to increasing participation and leadership among girls and women in physical activity and sports within Oregon. This funding supports project-based initiatives—ranging from youth sports camps to coaching workshops and wellness classes for adults—that promote engagement, empowerment, and lifelong fitness across diverse age groups.
Eligible applicants must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits with annual operating budgets under $5 million and serve communities within Oregon. Groups already supported in up to three consecutive yearly cycles may reapply, though grants must fund specific programs—not general operating costs or re-granting efforts.
Priority is given to initiatives that fall into one of three categories:
Keeping girls in the game: Supports activities for ages 10–16 to sustain youth participation in sports (e.g., after-school clinics, summer leagues).
Empowering women coaches: Supports leadership development through workshops, trainings, or mentorship opportunities for female coaches working with girls and women.
Fit for life: Aims to support health and wellness programs for women across the lifespan, including adult fitness classes, running groups, or wellness series.
Grant awards range from $5,000 to $25,000 per project, designed to fund a single program or activity. Applications typically open in early February and close by late March, with decisions announced in spring. Funds are disbursed by early summer, and recipients often recognized at an annual community event.
This opportunity is available statewide across Oregon. Interested nonprofit leaders should prepare a concise program proposal and reach out via the program’s official contact to confirm current deadlines and application guidelines.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Oregon that are actively involved in Community Development & Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
