Paul Loggan Foundation Grant Application 

The Paul Loggan Foundation (“PLF”) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all student athletes have the opportunity to excel in sports by providing resources, community support, and mentorship that will enhance their love of athletics and competition. The foundation will strive to foster a community to serve and inspire others to be outstanding individuals within the community in everything they do, the way Paul Loggan lived his life.  

The PLF has created a grant program to support North Central’s athletics and its extraordinary student athletes, coaches, and families. While the Foundation aspires to to meet both the immediate and long term needs of all sports, it must manage the resources judiciously in order to preserve the long term sustainability of the mission. Each application will be carefully considered on a case by case basis, giving thought to equity, inclusion, and appropriateness of the ask (i.e. does it confirm with PLF mission and values).

General Grant Ask Parameters
“Large” asks (i.e. >$1,000) are less likely to get funded in full in the short term. Funds should go towards things that will help/impact your sport and your student athletes broadly and equitably (i.e. don’t ask for funding for a tool for just your star athlete or geared towards a single position). Funds should be directly or indirectly beneficial to your sport and your athletes. Don’t make “personal” asks that aren’t applicable to the sport. We encourage you to work with your sport Booster Club to think about your needs and how they can work with the PLF to fund larger/longer term asks.
