Equipment grants

From the archive. THF isn't taking equipment grant applications anymore. This page explains how the program worked.

The Hockey Foundation partnered with Leveling the Playing Field (LPF, located in the Washington, DC area) to help in-need hockey players and programs around the US get equipment.

Who qualified

• Your program serves economically disadvantaged children, or children or adults with disabilities
• Your organization operates (or wishes to operate) a hockey program that offers consistent and structured opportunities for play to large groups of children
• The program is intended to provide free or low cost enrichment programs for its participants
• Your athletic activities provide a youth development component. LPF does not support organizations that have a sole focus in “on the ice performance”

How it worked

Programs filled out a grant application, then talked with LPF staff by phone.  Once approved, they picked up equipment from LPF's DC-area warehouse (4,000 sq. ft. of donated sports gear) or had it shipped.  The equipment was free; programs covered the shipping.
