NFL Charities Youth Education, Recreation, and Physical Fitness Grants
http://www.jointheteam.com/programs/programs.asp?c=6
NFL Charities, a nonprofit organization founded in 1973 by member clubs of the National Football League, awards grants in the following areas: youth education, recreation, and physical fitness (impact grants and partner grants); sports-related medical research; volunteer recreation programs (League-managed programs only); and NFL Player organizations. Through its grant programs, NFL Charities seeks to enhance the educational opportunities for school-age youth. Organizations applying for funding through this program may seek either an Impact Grant or a Partner Grant and must specify the type of grant on the proposal. Organizations may not apply for both types of grants in the same funding cycle.
Through its Impact Grants, NFL Charities seeks to support education, mentoring, or youth-centered programming that show potential for national impact. NFL Charities will support the program development, pilot, and implementation phases of school-based or youth agency-based projects. The ultimate goal is to fund the enhancement of existing systems or the creation of new initiatives to address the educational and recreational needs of school-aged youth on a national scope. NFL Charities is dedicated to encouraging children to stay in school, to achieve academically, and to participate in enriching after-school and recreational activities in order to promote their development into productive members of society. Major multi-year proposals will be considered, with a maximum of four years of funding. Each year of funding is contingent upon meeting grant requirements; grants over $250,000 may require a site visit. Grants will only be awarded to national nonprofit organizations defined as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. No grants will be awarded to individuals.
Through its Partner Grants, NFL Charities seeks to support organizations with established strategic partnerships or previous grantmaking relationships with the NFL. Partner grants will be awarded to organizations that focus on youth-centered educational and recreational programming. Grants typically range from $5,000 to $25,000. Multi-year grants will not be considered. Grants will only be awarded to national nonprofit organizations defined as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. No grants will be awarded to individuals or individual schools.
Grant applications must be postmarked by August 1. Organizations will be notified by mail by the end of the calendar year about the status of grant proposals. To request application materials and/or inquire about the status of grant proposals, contact: Jessica Rich, NFL Charities, 280 Park Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10017; E-mail: richj@nfl.com.

Recreation Departments Turn to Corporate and Nonprofit Sponsors
Throughout the state, recreation departments are turning to corporate or nonprofit sponsored events to raise revenue to offset budget cuts. It is changing the way recreation departments determine which programs they will offer -- and how directors do their jobs.   "It's a tough economy," said Mike Maisner, executive director of the Michigan Recreation and Park Association in Okemos, which has a membership that includes about 200 recreation departments throughout the state. "What makes the most sense is a combination of funding sources."

GET THE GOLD : A PHYSICAL EDUCATOR'S GUIDE TO GRANT WRITING. Journal article by Dennis Johnson and Tammy Schilling appearing in JOPERD--The Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, Vol. 72, Issue, 3 March 2001. Note available to MSU faculty, staff, and students.
As we enter the 21st century, there is increasing pressure on public schools and teachers to demonstrate student competence. Numerous states and individual school systems currently use end-of-year tests to measure the progress of their students. These tests are designed to evaluate competence in the "academic" subjects (e.g., reading, writing, math, and science). Physical education and other so-called minor subjects (e.g., art, music, shop, home economics) receive little or no attention in these year-end assessments. In addition, these "minor" subject areas are generally the first to have their already depleted budgets slashed even further and the last to get funding for equipment and facility upgrades.
Physical educators have a variety of financial needs that must be met if they are to maintain a high-quality program. There are replacement supplies such as balls, nets, and hockey blades. Then there is new equipment to be purchased (e.g., balance beam, volleyball standards, tumbling mats). Physical educators often face dilemmas such as, "Do I order replacement balls or a new tennis net?" The possibility of purchasing roller blades to implement in-line skating or a climbing wall to expand the curriculum is but a dream for many of them. But does it have to be this way? Are there other options for physical educators interested in expanding their curriculum and obtaining more equipment?
This article provides a guide for obtaining "wish-list" items and facility upgrades. Grants are often available for such projects, especially if the funds will be used for both the school and the community or for after-school programs. Grants are often available for such projects, especially if the funds will be used for both the school and the community or for after-school programs. The process of procuring this external funding involves three basic steps:
(1) locating sources of funding,
(2) learning the application procedures and eligibility requirements, and
(3) writing and submitting a grant proposal.
Physical educators must be willing to invest significant time and effort in this process. In most cases, simply writing a grant proposal is not enough to procure funds. Rather, "there must be a process of planning, and of research on, outreach to, and cultivation of potential foundation and corporate donors".
