Grants
Tri 4 Schools offers grants for large-scale school-based initiatives each year. We also offer scholarships to athletes in our community who have financial need.
Tri 4 Schools Wellness Grants
The purpose of the Tri 4 Schools Wellness Grant program is to support school or community-based initiatives that promote the physical and/or mental well-being of children in Dane County elementary and middle schools (ages 3-14). Every year, Tri 4 Schools donates event proceeds to Dane County schools to support wellness initiatives. To date, we have contributed over $425,000 to over 200 schools via direct donations and grant-based support. This year, Tri 4 Schools is accepting applications for grant requests between $500-$3,000 that support school-based wellness initiatives.
