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 $628,541 total to 148 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—exact date to be determined soon. The grant application will be posted at that time.
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. Every dollar you contribute helps break down barriers and build up futures. Hear from grant recipients about how your contribution makes an impact, and join us in making a difference!
Burpees for Bucks
Burpees for Bucks allows you to give back to the Madison community while having fun with your fitness community. Every dollar you donate = 1 burpee your chosen gym has to crank out.
The best part? Your donation goes toward the MASC Youth Grant, helping kids with financial limitations access sports programs across Dane County.
Donations will be accepted March 9–15. Check back here on Monday, March 9 to make your donation!
