YOUTH GRANT
The Madison Area Sports Commission Youth Grant mission is to provide financial assistance that serves youth in need, connecting them to sports activities that can provide lifelong enjoyment and health benefits. Since 2011, the MASC Youth Grant Program has awarded $666,876 to local organizations supporting youth in Dane County.
Funded by contributions from the IRONMAN Foundation, MASC signature events, individuals and corporations, grants are awarded to established organizations, for the benefit of the organization or an individual served by that organization. Grant recipients must serve Dane County youth ages seventeen (17) and under.
Grant Applications are Open
Applications for the next grant cycle are due by 5 p.m. CST on Thursday, July 2, 2026. Finalists will be required to make a pitch to an external committee.
Donate to the Youth Grant
Sports should be for everyone. That’s why the Madison Area Sports Commission Youth Grant exists—to ensure youth in need across Dane County can access the lifelong benefits of participating in sports.
