Purpose The purpose of the PDGA Diversity and Outreach Grant Program is to encourage our members to design and implement ways to move the PDGA membership, and the sport of disc golf, toward greater diversity globally. These grants will provide financial assistance for innovative projects, programs, workshops, and activities that strengthen excellence in diversity and outreach for under-represented populations within the PDGA membership. These under-represented populations include Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), as well as women and girls. While all successful applications will emphasize some aspect of diversity, applicants are encouraged to think creatively about their proposals. Grants can be used for many purposes, including but not limited to the following: Projects, programs, workshops, or activities intended to increase diversity. Equipment or other material items used to support under-represented groups. Projects to enhance and support the recruitment of new PDGA members from under-represented groups. Workshop leaders or guest speakers on topics of diversity. Diversity and Outreach Grants must not fund tangible assets (i.e. computers/computer hardware, etc.) that will revert to the owner after the project is complete and are not intended to fund businesses or business plan development. Eligibility Applications may be submitted by any PDGA member in good standing, however, teams may consist of non-PDGA members. You must not have been awarded any other PDGA grants for the same project (you will verify that you have not been awarded any other grants for this project from the PDGA in your application below).
