Does your school need equipment for its teams? Is your athletic budget being squeezed from both ends? If you need training equipment, uniforms, and safety equipment, we can help.
To further its mission, the St. Sebastian Fund established a Small Grant Program to help Catholic schools meet immediate financial needs associated with their health, fitness, and athletic programs by providing grants of up to $2500. These small grants are posted to this website so donors can contribute to support these grants.
Here is how it works: Catholic schools are invited to submit a grant application describing the school, its Catholic affiliation, health, fitness, and athletic education programs, and the purpose for which it is seeking a Small Grant. If the school’s request is approved, a Small Grant Agreement is sent to the school. The Small Grant Agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the school’s participation in the Small Grant Program including that any funds it receives will be used exclusively to fund the school’s Small Grant request.
Once the school completes and returns the Small Grant Agreement, the school’s Small Grant request is posted on www.catholic-athletics.org. Visitors to the www.catholic-athletics.org can review and make financial contributions to support the Small Grant requests.
All contributions through www.catholic-athletics.org are made to the St. Sebastian Fund. When a donor makes a contribution to support a particular Small Grant request, the St. Sebastian Fund uses 100% of that contribution to fund the school’s Small Grant request. Donations can also be made directly to the St. Sebastian Fund to support The Fund’s mission and programs.
If you are a supporter of Catholic education and its athletic programs, please consider becoming a donor.
