Suffolk County announces youth team sports grants

The Suffolk County Youth Bureau is now accepting applications from nonprofit, community-based organizations to fund programs that provide youth sports in Suffolk County.

Applications for the Suffolk County Team Sports Grant program may not exceed $50,000 and must be received by Saturday, August 15. 

Funding will be provided by the Suffolk County Youth Bureau via the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). The funding supports youth development through team sports programs.  

The Suffolk County Youth Bureau will review and evaluate each proposal for cost-effectiveness, impact, and measurable outcomes. Funding decisions and awards will be based on guidelines established by New York State.

The bureau will also look to ensure each project serves a cross-section of youth from different age groups, including but not limited to, youth that are differently abled, youth from historically under-resourced communities or geographic areas in Suffolk County.
