SHE FLIES Community Grant

The SHE FLIES Community Grant is designed to support initiatives that encourage and empower women and girls to engage in active recreation and sports. The grant is funded by the SHE FLIES initiative, which aims to address gender disparities in sports participation by providing financial support to community-driven projects that promote inclusivity, accessibility, and participation. The grant seeks to enhance opportunities for women and girls in sports through innovative programs, events, and activities that create lasting change. This grant provides funding to organizations and community groups that align with the SHE FLIES mission of increasing female participation in sports and recreation. The grant covers a wide range of activities, including grassroots programs, community engagement initiatives, skills development workshops, and events that foster inclusion and diversity in sports. Funds can be used for program delivery, equipment, marketing, venue hire, and other relevant expenses that contribute to the project's success. Eligible applicants include community organizations, non-profits, local government bodies, schools, and sports clubs that demonstrate a clear commitment to promoting women and girls in active recreation. Applicants must outline how their proposed project aligns with the SHE FLIES objectives and detail the expected impact on their local community. Funding is not available for individuals, businesses operating for profit, or projects that do not have a direct focus on increasing female participation in sports. Applications must be submitted through the designated online portal before the specified deadline. The submission process requires detailed information about the proposed project, including objectives, implementation plans, budget allocation, expected outcomes, and an explanation of how the project aligns with the SHE FLIES mission. Supporting documents, such as letters of support and financial statements, may be required. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria including alignment with SHE FLIES' mission, feasibility, community impact, innovation, and sustainability. Preference may be given to projects that demonstrate a strong ability to reach underrepresented groups, create long-term impact, and foster leadership among women and girls in sports. The selection process involves a review panel that assesses applications based on merit and alignment with the grant objectives. Key dates, including the opening and closing of applications, as well as the anticipated timeline for funding decisions and project implementation, are outlined in the grant guidelines. Interested applicants are encouraged to review the full guidelines and contact the SHE FLIES grant team for further information. The program aims to create meaningful change by supporting initiatives that break barriers for women and girls in sports and active recreation.
