Intake and Support Overview

---

RISE Through Sports provides financial assistance to help remove barriers that prevent youth from participating in sports. Our intake process is designed to be clear, fair, and respectful of each family’s situation while ensuring responsible use of community resources.

Athletes, families, coaches, community members, and leagues may request support when there is a demonstrated financial or access-related need.

 Support may include assistance with:

• Gym or league memberships
• Sports equipment and uniforms
• Tournament or competition fees
• Training-related expenses
• Other sports-related needs reviewed on a case-by-case basis
   

Support is based on available funding, demonstrated need, and alignment with our mission.

Applicants complete an intake form outlining the athlete’s background, current need, and type of support being requested.

Applicants will be asked to submit a letter of support written by an individual in the community 

Applications are reviewed by RISE Through Sports leadership. Additional information may be requested to clarify needs or next steps.

Applicants are notified of decisions in writing. Approved support may be provided directly to programs, vendors, or families depending on the nature of the request.

If you believe an athlete or program could benefit from assistance, we invite you to begin the intake process below.
