Clean Competition Fund Grants

The Clean Competition Fund is dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations working within education, outreach, scientific research, and clinical or basic research focused on anti-doping in sports or the detection of human growth hormone (hGH), steroids, or other performance-enhancing substances. Since its inception in 2013, the fund has allocated over $1.3 million, supporting various initiatives like the Rhode Island Interscholastic League's Operation Clean Competition and research projects at the University of Rhode Island and Bryant University. Eligible applicants must be Rhode Island nonprofits with proposals addressing priority areas such as outreach, education, or research related to hGH or performance-enhancing substances, with a clear plan for sustainability. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with a decision timeline of six to ten weeks.
