Grant Program

A Resource for Youth Organizers

The CFY mission is delivered principally through our Grant Program, accounting for nearly 75% of CFY’s overall community investment. The goal is to provide a wide range of youth programs the financial resources needed to keep registration fees low, ensuring accessibility to children and families of all economic backgrounds. In doing so, coaches, instructors, and leadership can focus on what matters most: creating impactful early life experiences.

CFY started as a youth athletics provider in the 1970s, transitioning over the years into a funding resource for a growing number of recreational and competitive organizations specializing in their sport/activity.

Donations to CFY are distributed to groups across the county through this program, connecting those who are passionate about creating and sustaining positive youth experiences to an extensive network of providers committed to healthy growth and development.
