Behind every Women’s Sports Foundation grant lies one concrete objective: provide girls access to sport and
physical activity despite background or financial ability. Grants are awarded to girl-serving organizations who

physical activity.
The Women’s Sports Foundation awards grants nationwide, but places a strong emphasis on Atlanta, Boston,
Chicago and San Antonio metropolitan areas via the leadership of our community offices.
