Description
The Women's Sports Foundation established the Travel & Training Fund in 1984 to help women athletes continue competing and reach higher levels of performance when they cannot otherwise afford essential support. It considers requests for coaching, specialized training, equipment, attire, and travel from individual athletes and teams. The foundation has awarded grants to nearly 1,600 athletes and teams across a range of sports.
The fund prioritizes assistance that can make a significant, lasting difference to an athlete's participation and advancement. It also considers whether an award could advance women in sports and increase the visibility of female athletes. Support from the Stronger Than You Think Foundation helps increase assistance to women athletes with disabilities.
