iWIN IX Grants
A season costs less than you think.
Nine grants, named in honor of Title IX. They cover the things that quietly decide whether an Idaho girl plays this year — a registration fee, a pair of shoes, a camp tuition, the drive to the meet.
“I need help covering the cost of her season.”
Momentum Grants
Registration and league fees, shoes, uniforms, required gear, and participation travel — for a season starting soon.
Apply for a Momentum Grant For families“She wants to go to a camp or clinic.”
Camp Scholarships
Camp tuition in full or in part, required gear, and transport support — for camps in the next several months.
Apply for a Camp Scholarship For organizations“We serve girls, and cost is turning them away.”
Equity Grants
Fee support, gear libraries, transport, facility time, and expansion — for Idaho teams, schools, clubs and nonprofits.
Apply for an Equity GrantWhat a grant is
Small amounts, at the moment they decide something.
These are not large grants and they are not meant to be. They are sized to the gap between a family who can nearly afford a season and one who can — and they arrive before registration closes rather than after.
One girl, one season
Not an estimate. It is what each of our twenty Mountain Home awards costs this year, through a running program. Other sports cost more, and we will publish those figures as we fund them.
A note on partners. Girls on the Run is an independent organization we fund grants into. We are not affiliated with them, we do not run their program, and they are one of several partners our grants reach. We name them because a figure without its source is not worth publishing — not because the relationship is anything more than that.
Registration and league fees
The single most cited barrier women report to playing as much as they wanted. Not talent, not interest — the bill at sign-up.
Shoes, uniforms, required equipment
The costs that arrive after you have already committed, and the ones families are least likely to ask anyone about.
Getting her there
In a state this size, distance is a participation barrier. Travel tied to participation is eligible when it is necessary and documented.
We pay the provider, not the applicant. Wherever possible, funds go directly to the league, the camp, or a verified vendor. Families should not have to front money they do not have and wait for a reimbursement.
Before you start
Gather these first and the application takes about fifteen minutes.
The most common reason an application stalls is starting it without the cost documentation to hand. Everything below is what the form will ask you for.
Momentum Grant
- A brief description of what you need and why it matters now
- Cost documentation — an invoice, screenshot, link or estimate
- A coach or program contact we can use to verify participation
Camp Scholarship
- Camp name, dates, location and the registration link
- Cost documentation — tuition screenshot, invoice or link
- A short note on why the camp matters and what she hopes to gain
- Tell us if there is a camp deadline coming up
Equity Grant
- The need and the barriers you are addressing
- The number of girls who directly benefit
- A realistic timeline — 30, 60, 90 or 120 days
- An itemized budget that matches your request
If applying is hard, tell us and we will change how you apply.
We can accept audio answers instead of written ones, provide screen-reader friendly materials, allow extra time, or send materials in Spanish. Email hello@taylorleadscholarship.com before the deadline and we will make it work.
An application process that only works for confident writers is just another barrier with better manners.
What we do not fund
- Cash requests without documentation
- Expenses not tied to girls’ sport participation
- Anything we are unable to verify
We publish this so nobody spends fifteen minutes on an application that was never eligible.
How it works
Five steps, and no deadline to wait for.
Applications are handled through Submittable. You will need an account, which takes a minute to create — use a personal email address you actually check.
Pick the right grant
Momentum for an individual season, Camp Scholarship for a camp or clinic, Equity for a team or organization. If you are unsure, email us and we will point you.
Gather your cost documentation
An invoice, a screenshot, a registration link, or a written estimate. This is the single thing that determines how fast we can move.
Apply through Submittable
Drafts save automatically, so you can start on a phone and finish later. Documents in PDF, JPG or PNG, up to about 10–20 MB each.
We review as quickly as we can
There is no deadline to wait for and no seasonal cycle to miss. We may come back with a question — clear, specific answers help us move faster. If something is time-sensitive, say so in the application.
If approved, we pay the provider
Funds go directly to the league, camp or verified vendor wherever possible. You will hear from us by email through Submittable — check your spam folder.
Already funded
Twenty girls, one town, before we had formally launched.
Twenty girls from low-income families in Mountain Home will be funded into a season of running this year through iWIN IX Grants. We ran no campaign to find them. The need was already there and the amount was small enough to move on quickly.

Fund the grants
Every grant on this page was somebody else’s decision to give.
A hundred and fifteen dollars is a season. Two hundred and fifty covers fees, gear or travel for a girl who would otherwise sit it out. This is the cheapest point of entry into a pipeline that runs all the way to leadership — and the one where the money moves fastest.
