Kids Run the Nation Grant Application is Open
The RRCA developed the Kids Run the Nation Fund in 2007 to assist organizations interested in implementing or currently hosting youth running programs. Small grants from the Kids Run the Nation Fund are awarded on an annual basis through an application and selection process.
The RRCA will award over $15,000 in small grants ranging from $500-$1,000 to organizations with the IRS 501(c)(3) designation that host multi-week, youth running programs geared towards school-aged children. Schools or non-profit organizations that provide an organized after-school running program are eligible to apply as well. The Kids Run the Nation Grants will not fund youth races or entry fees for competitive teams.
The deadline to apply for a Kids Run the Nation grant is October 1. Learn more about the Kids Run the Nation Fund, the grant criteria, and apply for a grant.
