Description

The Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth is soliciting competitive applications for its Pathways to Play Grants, which support projects serving youth in eligible rural Virginia localities. Applicants may choose one of two categories: Play Space Activation Grants, providing up to $100,000 for one-time improvements, repairs, equipment, or accessibility and safety upgrades to existing play and recreation spaces; or Active Programming Grants, providing up to $50,000 per year for structured, recurring physical-activity programming such as sports, martial arts, dance, yoga, outdoor activities, fitness education, equipment, instructors, and outreach. Applicants may apply for only one category. The total anticipated funding is up to $1,123,944, with at least 15 awards anticipated. For-profit organizations are ineligible; eligible applicants include qualified nonprofits, Tribal entities, schools or school divisions, and government agencies registered to do business in Virginia. Applications must be submitted through the VFHY Online Grants Portal by October 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Required application content includes organizational and project narratives, need and sustainability information, youth-impact estimates, key personnel, budget information, and applicable supporting documentation. Applicants must complete and upload the Pathways to Play Budget Form in Microsoft Excel format; other attachments generally must be combined into a single PDF per upload field. Projects must be completed by July 15, 2027, and final reports and final reimbursement requests are due by August 1, 2027. Play Space Activation projects are one-time and not renewable, while Active Programming awards may be renewed at VFHY's discretion for up to four additional funding periods.
