Operation Renovation Grants

Spurs Give, the nonprofit arm of Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E), in partnership with Frost Bank, administers the Operation Renovation grant program as part of its broader mission to invest in community well-being across South and Central Texas. SS&E prioritizes access, healing and wellness, and belonging through a variety of philanthropic initiatives. The Operation Renovation program specifically targets improvements to physical infrastructure for youth-focused nonprofit organizations, offering them the opportunity to enhance their facilities and create safer, more accessible environments for learning and play. This grant provides up to $100,000 in funding for facility upgrades for two selected organizations each year. Funds must be used exclusively for facility renovations and cannot exceed the stated award amount. Projects supported by this grant must be completed by June 30, 2026, aligning with the funders’ goals of timely, effective community impact. Eligible applicants must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in good standing, primarily serving youth populations. Additionally, organizations must operate within a 150-mile radius of San Antonio, Texas. Applicants are required to have a current W9 and either a 990 form or audited financial statements available. The grant does not support general operating expenses or programmatic costs unrelated to physical improvements. The application window for the 2025–2026 cycle opens on October 31, 2025, and closes on December 19, 2025. Applications must be submitted via the online form, and submission does not guarantee funding. Selected grantees will be notified following the review period. While no pre-application steps such as a Letter of Intent are required, applicants must ensure completeness and accuracy in all required submissions, including narrative alignment with SS&E’s impact priorities. Though no specific evaluation rubric is provided, applicants are expected to demonstrate strong alignment with the themes of access, healing and wellness, or belonging, and articulate how the renovations will directly serve youth. The funders emphasize their commitment to supporting organizations that reflect these values and contribute meaningfully to the community. No contact phone or email for the grant administrators is explicitly listed; applicants are advised to provide their own contact details during submission for further correspondence.

Focus on strong alignment with SS&E’s priorities of access, healing and wellness, and belonging; ensure complete financial and organizational information.
