CATCH GRANT

Charitable Assistance To Challenges & Hardships

USA Football offers CATCH Grants for organizations who are in need of assistance, outside of normal operations, due to critical circumstances, natural disasters, or other acute hardships (examples: theft of equipment and resources or weather events that destroyed equipment and property). CATCH Grants are not intended for general expenses due to operational deficits or inefficiencies (examples: lack of donations, equipment not returned); there must be a specific reason, outside of normal operations, that has caused your organization’s hardship.

Youth organizations, middle schools, and girls flag football programs enrolled with USA Football for the current calendar year are eligible to apply for a CATCH Grant. Click here to enroll, if needed.

High school tackle programs, adult organizations and for-profit organizations are not eligible for the CATCH Grant. Please be prepared to fully and specifically describe your trouble, including:

• Date of incident
• Details of damages, hardship or losses (such as # of pieces of equipment, etc.)
• Company estimates of repairs or replacements (such as quote for equipment, etc.)
• Impact on organization
