New Nike Grant Can Help High School Sports

Wednesday, July 08, 2009

Nike has launched a new grant program that is open to applications from high schools across the nation.

Nike is investing up to $650,000 in communities across the country to unlock the potential of youth through sports, and as a leaders in this field, we wanted the members of the NFHS to be among the first to know.

This year the process is going to be online and anyone will be able to nominate, apply and vote for the programs they care about in their community. Get started today at www.nikebackyourblock.com.

Grants will range between $2,500 and $5,000 and can support both product and/or other costs necessary to advance your program.

Thank you for all you do for your community to help young people unlock their potential through sports.
