Youth Sports Grant | Southern Nevada

Participation in organized sports offers children numerous benefits that extend well into adulthood. Engaging in sports enhances physical health by improving cardiovascular fitness, strength, and coordination, while also promoting mental well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Moreover, involvement in team sports fosters essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and discipline, contributing to higher self-esteem and social connectedness. To ensure that all children have the opportunity to experience these advantages, regardless of financial constraints, the Danny Dove Foundation offers sports grants for low-income families.

We encourage eligible families to apply for these grants or share this opportunity with others who may benefit, as our goal is to make organized sports accessible to every child. Below you will find the steps for receiving a grant as well as the grant application.
