Altoona Curve Charities, a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to supporting local youth programs and organizations, is accepting applications for the 2025 Grant Program.
Applications are available now to area nonprofits that promote healthy living for the betterment of youth and community.
The 2025 Grant Program will accept applications from 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with a federal tax-exempt letter that specifically supports local youth programs and organizations that promote exercise, health, activity and education.
Grants may be awarded in the form of financial assistance or facility renovations by Curve staff and groundskeeper, depending on the needs of the organization.
"We are looking forward to receiving the applications for the grant program this year," said Curve General Manager Nate Bowen. "It is exciting to see all the projects that different groups are doing in our area to support youth athletics and education, and we are looking forward to helping! This would not be possible without the efforts of the Altoona Curve Booster Club and their volunteers selling 50/50 tickets to help support the charity and make these grants possible."
Organizations looking to participate in the Grant Program must submit their application by Wednesday, Dec. 10, at www.milb.com/altoona/community/altoona-curve-charities/grant.
There is a request limit of $5,000 for all organizations.
In its first three years, the Curve Charities Grant Program awarded more than $266,000 with 93 total grants to 66 area nonprofit organizations.
Curve Charities has raised money throughout the 2025 season through events, a 50/50 raffle during games and through donations from members of the community to continue to create an ever-lasting impact on the communities that Curve fans reside in.
