Youth Sports Programs Encouraged to Apply for Grants to Improve Facilities

Supported by tiny fraction of car rental taxes, the King County Youth Sports Grant Program helps fund improvement projects for sports facilities such as soccer fields and running tracks.

Qualified groups can apply for county grants, which match private donations up to $75,000. Since 1993, the county has dolled out more than $10 million and helped with more than 250 sports facilities.

Applications will be accepted until June 17. Applicants must also submit letters of intent by May 4. For more information, visit www.kingcounty.gov/parks or contact Butch Lovelace at 206-263-6267 or butch.lovelace@kingcounty.gov.
