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 has awarded $520,000 to 92 local organizations.
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 for the next round of the grant cycle will be accepted later this year — date to be announced. The grant application will be posted at that time.
