Youth Running Program Grants for Health and Wellbeing
GrantID: 44847
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This funding opportunity supports community‑based programs that use running and physical activity to promote healthier lifestyles for young people, with awards typically ranging up to about $10,000 per recipient. It is aimed at nonprofit organizations with tax‑exempt status that serve youth age 18 and under, particularly those that increase participation in running or fitness activities among populations not traditionally exposed to such programming.
The intent of the funds is to help combat issues like youth inactivity and obesity by enabling grantees to expand or sustain running clubs, fitness events, and related wellness efforts that benefit children’s health and well‑being. Organizations across a broad range of U.S. states and regions are eligible, provided they can demonstrate positive impact through their proposed programming, and awards have been made to community organizations from various locations nationwide.
The opportunity is generally offered in multiple rounds each year, with deadlines at set times; eligible applicants must show that their use of funds will directly support youth engagement, movement, and community connection. Small businesses and individuals are not the primary focus — the emphasis is on charitable groups delivering structured activities for young participants.
