Let Me Play Grants


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.

How do you get a grant?

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.

Who is eligible?

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.

How much money is available per athlete?

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.
