In-Kind Youth Sports Equipment Grant is a grant from Good Sports that funds organized youth sports, fitness, and recreation programs with donated athletic equipment. The program provides in-kind donations rather than cash and covers a wide range of sports and physical activity gear. Eligible applicants are organized programs serving youth; 501(c)3 status is not required. Grants are not available for individuals or for short-term events such as camps and tournaments. Recipients pay a 10% administrative fee on the retail value of donated equipment. Grantees must complete an evaluation form after receiving equipment. Organizations may submit only one application and must complete all required questions.
