Running clubs, events, 501(c)(3) organizations, and elementary and middle schools that provide afterschool running programs are eligible to apply for grants ranging from $500 to $1000 from Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) and Kids Run the Nation. Clubs and organizations who apply should be interested in funding more than a single event. While it’s fine if your club’s program has a major event it works toward, it should have a structured running program in place that gets kids moving regularly. The ultimate goal of the program is to encourage a healthier lifestyle, while also promoting inclusivity and community.
