Good Sports

Criteria for equipment grants

Good Sports will review each Boston applicant’s profile in BOSTONavigator to get a more comprehensive look at your organization. If your program is in the city of Boston and you have not already done so, please update your organization’s information to BOSTONavigator. We will share each applicant’s contact information with BOSTONavigator, but it is up to the individual organizations to submit their program and opportunity data. To do so, contact HELP@BOSTONavigator.org or call (617) 345-5322 x170 to get your username and password. If you have already entered your organization’s information, please make sure to validate your programs and opportunities to make sure your information is accurate and continue to update your information every six months.
Must directly serve youth aged 5-18 years old
Good Sports accepts applications on a national level; however, priority will be given to organizations within our target communities, including Massachusetts (these include Lawrence, Springfield, New Bedford, Boston, Worcester, Fall River, Lowell, Lynn, Brockton, Chicopee, Cambridge, Somerville, Framingham, Haverhill, Chelsea, Fitchburg), Providence, Philadelphia and Chicago.
Special consideration will be given to programs that seek to increase participation of youth in inner-city areas and programs that enhance or increase participation of girls.
Demonstrate that an equipment grant would impact the organization in one of the following ways: help to develop a new program, increase the number of participants in an existing program, decrease the overall cost of the program for youth/families, and/or enhance the experience to retain youth in program.
Must be operating an organized sport, fitness and/or recreation program (not necessarily competitive), but must have coaching, be structured, and meet multiple times per week
Should demonstrate significant dosage of sports and/or recreation time (i.e. programs that meet for a longer duration or multiple times per week will be prioritized over programs that meet minimally)
We do not provide equipment for short term events such as many camps and tournaments. In addition, we do not provide equipment for recreation rooms; however, fitness equipment, camping/hiking gear and organized social games with a fitness component that meet other criteria will be considered.
We do not require that your program have 501 ( c) 3 status
