Good Afternoon,

Our foundation has been getting more and more requests from sports teams in our local area asking for grants. Some sports teams are associated with local high schools, others are independent traveling teams. Some are asking for help with purchasing equipment and others are just asking for general help with uniform expenses. Also, we've began to receive grant request from clubs located in the high schools such as FBLA, Culture Club, Key Club, etc. I was curious how other Community Foundations handled these types of grant requests? Do you have limits or certain criteria on what you will or will not support? Does the club or sport type, or number of students impacted make a difference? Any feedback on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Samantha
