Altoona Curve Charities, a 501c3 organization devoted to supporting local youth programs and organizations, announced the opening of grant applications for the 2026 grant program, available now to area non-profits that promote healthy living for the betterment of youth and community.
The 2026 grant program will accept applications from 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 the Curve staff and groundskeepers, depending on the needs of the organization.
Organizations looking to participate in the grant program are encouraged to submit their application between now and Monday, Dec. 14 and must be submitted through the online form. There is a request limit of $5,000 for all organizations. Grant recipients will be announced in early 2027.
"We are encouraging non-profit organizations in our area that support youth athletics or education to apply for a grant through Altoona Curve Charities this year," Curve General Manager Nate Bowen said. "These grants would not be possible without the help of the Altoona Curve Booster Clubs volunteers selling 50/50 tickets during our home games and the support of our fans each season."
Over the last four years, the Curve Charities Grant Program awarded more than $334,000 with 119 total grants to 82 area nonprofit organizations.
