In the past, NASPA has supported requests for help with the donation of equipment (tiles, racks, and games). Rather than wait for requests, we are announcing a program where you can apply to receive a grant from NASPA to support Youth Scrabble.
Any NASPA member can apply for a NASPA Youth Scrabble grant. The grant may be awarded to an organization or program, but a NASPA member must recommend the organization or program.
Your request could be something as simple as copies of the NASPA School Word List 2020, equipment to support live play, or a paid Zoom subscription to support online club sessions. If you are holding tournaments or events, you might request support for trophies or other non-cash prizes. You might want to develop curriculum materials that can be shared with other Youth Scrabble coaches on the NASPA web site.
There are no specific requirements – use your imagination and think how you can support Youth Scrabble.
We will accept requests for support of Youth SCRABBLE initiatives and award grants as funds are available.
Applicants should submit proposals by October 31, 2024 for the current round of funding.
At a minimum, the proposal should contain:
Proposals should be sent via email to NASPA.
All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by a committee consisting of the Executive Committee, Advisory Board members, and Youth chair Cornelia Guest.
You can donate directly to the foundation or you can use Amazon Smile to make online purchases.
When you shop at Amazon Smile, Amazon makes a donation to the NASPA Foundation for Youth Literacy.
