QUICK GRANTS OVERVIEW

BE SURE TO READ ALL GUIDELINES AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH AN APPLICATION.

Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute, the Arizona Sports & Tourism Authority (AZSTA) has been established in part to promote youth and amateur sports within Maricopa County. Quick grants are an ongoing opportunity for smaller projects up to $5000. This program was established by the AZSTA Board of Directors to provide "quick" solutions for community needs.

Applicants MUST be a Maricopa County agency, municipality, school district or any other incorporated public entity, (including any combination of the forgoing); OR, a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, which have been operating in Maricopa County for no less than one calendar year . Proposed projects must also be located within Maricopa County.

NOTE: Funding WILL NOT be awarded for: fixed overhead/administrative expenses (e.g. salaries, rent, utilities, etc.), loans/endowments/grants, conferences, individuals, tournaments, fundraiser, or benefit tables; travel expenses outside of Maricopa County; capital campaigns; funding to maintain the sustainability of an organization, program, or anything else deemed as not serving the youth and amateur sports community within Maricopa County.

Funds are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis providing that the program's criteria are met. Once the funds have been dispersed, the grant will no longer be available for the remainder of the fiscal year.
