DISTRICT SPOTLIGHT: Ohio AAU District’s 2023 Grant Program
02/07/2023
Ohio AAU is working to grow AAU Events and Programs in the Ohio District
OHIO (February 7, 2023) – The Ohio AAU District Board of Governors is working to create high quality and competitive AAU events in the Ohio District. The purpose of this Grant Program is to grow the overall youth membership in AAU by increasing the number of members, sanctioned events, and programs in Ohio during the 2022-2023 year.
Providing high quality and competitive AAU events is what will bring in more members, and that is what the Ohio AAU District is dedicated to doing. The Ohio AAU District Board of Governors has determined an overall amount of $15,000 will be available for the 2023 Grant period to one or more Ohio AAU Sport Directors & members.
This is the eighth (8th) year of the Ohio AAU Grant Program and the awareness and popularity has grown rapidly. This year will be the largest amount of grant money awarded in the history of the program.
The award of $15,000 will be available for the 2023 Grant period to one or more Ohio AAU Sport Directors & members who submit a written grant proposal which is accepted by the Board. Acceptance by the Board means that the grant request (in the view of the Board) demonstrates a sound business proposal to grow the number of Ohio AAU Sanctioned Events & Programs in their Sport, which in turn will grow Ohio AAU Membership for that specific Sport.
Below are the conditions and requirements to apply:
All grant proposals must be submitted via email to the Ohio AAU Treasurer and Registrar:
Matt Lykins - mattlykins@hotmail.com
Andrea Schwartz – andrea.schwartz1@gmail.com
The deadline for Grant proposal submissions is Friday, February 17 by midnight. Good luck to everyone who submits a grant proposal. Let’s continue to make the Amateur Athletic Union better for our young athletes.
