Tri-County Youth Sports Grant
Recognizing the accomplishments of area athletes and sports contributors for more than 30 years, the Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame is giving back to the Tri-County youth sports programs through a new grant program that was launched in 2016. Aided by benefactor contributions to the Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame and revenues generated from the annual banquet, the GPSHOF may select a total of three youth sports programs in Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford Counties.
Youth programs interested in receiving a grant should submit an application detailing the attributes of the program to the Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame by March 15 of each year. Applications should be addressed to:
Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame
Attn: Youth Sports Grant
P.O. Box 9338
Peoria, IL 61612
Basic information in the application should include the youth program's mission, how the funding can assist the mission and a primary point of contact. All applications will be reviewed by the GPSHOF board and the three winning organizations will be announced during the Hall of Fame banquet. To download the GRANT APPLICATION form: (Click Here).
