Giving girls more than just money.
By receiving grants for participation fees and equipment costs, young women have opportunities to be part of a team, realize their dreams,
grow through healthy outlets, and obtain personal growth they may not have been able to realize otherwise.
The Ann Bancroft Foundation's "Let Me Play" grants are awarded in the spring and the fall. Deadline dates are announced on The Ann Bancroft Foundation website for each bi-annual round of grants.
Minnesota Girls ages 5 through 10th grade are eligible to apply for a grant. Each application is screened by a representative from The Ann Bancroft Foundation prior to going to a volunteer committee who review and rank the grants for distribution.
Individual grants will not exceed $500. "Let Me Play" grants average $120 and the amount and number of grants awarded each session are determined by the number of qualified applicants and the amount of funds available.
