Through our North America Grantmaking Program , GSD supports those primarily grassroots organizations operating programs that forward the GSD mission: promoting sportsmanship, education, fair play and ethics among youth. GSD works closely with prospective grant recipients, becoming familiar with the organization's leadership, assisting in the application process and, when possible, helping to solicit matching funds. Close contact with approved recipients keeps us informed of program progress, expenses and issues.

In the years since we began providing grants, the creativity behind the programming and the community impact supported organizations have achieved is staggering. To date, GSD has funded literally hundreds of programs, assisting thousands of young athletes. Read more about grant recipients or learn how to apply for a grant.
