Team grants cover kits, FIRST registration, tools, gear, and the other costs that stop teams from starting — or from doing their best work. Apply below.
One short application. No budget spreadsheets, no narrative essays, no school board approval needed to apply.
If your request is outside our usual categories, we'll talk it through with you — not reject it by form letter.
We reply quickly. Most team grants are funded in full or in part — and you'll always know where you stand.
Honest expectations, so you know before you apply. Cap is $500 per team. If your need isn't a clean fit but feels close, apply anyway and tell us — we'll figure it out together.
Need something else? Check “Other” in the form and explain — we read every one.
Fill in what you can. The more specific you are about what the team needs and why, the faster we can get back to you with a real answer.
Grants are capped at $500 per team. We reply personally to every application — usually within a week or two, sometimes longer when we're stretched. If you haven't heard from us in 3 weeks, ping us.
Who should apply: head coaches, team leads, parent-volunteers organizing a team, or principals/teachers launching a new team. FTC teams are our primary focus; FLL and VEX teams welcome. If you're a family asking about individual costs, reach out via our contact form — we handle those separately.
Most teams in Loudoun don't fail because the kids can't do the work. They fail because the adults running them can't afford to launch, or can't replace a broken kit mid-season, or get blocked by a $350 registration fee.
Team grants exist to remove those blockers. We're a small, parent-led nonprofit — we're not going to bury you in paperwork. Tell us what you need, we'll tell you what we can do, and we'll keep the conversation going season after season.
