Help grow boys’ and men’s volleyball by applying for a Kevin Pratte Foundation grant!

The Kevin Pratte Foundation is excited to support programs that are building opportunities, growing the game, and making a positive impact in their communities. Whether you’re just getting started or helping the sport reach new heights, we’d love to hear your story.

Applications open Monday, October 26, and are due Monday, November 30.

Grant opportunities

• Three grants to support boys’ and men’s volleyball programs. 

• One grant for uniforms and gear 

Programs may apply for both grant opportunities.

Please email kevinpratte6@gmail.com to apply

Who can apply?

All boys’ and men’s volleyball programs are welcome, including elementary and middle schools, high schools, clubs, college clubs, NCAA, NAIA, community colleges, and community-based programs.

Tell us about your program

In a short essay, explain why your program needs a grant and how you would use the funds. Help us get to know what makes your program special by sharing:

• Your story and what makes your program unique

• How you help grow boys’ and men’s volleyball

• The impact you make in your community

• Your team GPA and graduation rate, if applicable

You’re welcome to include photos, graphics, data, or videos to strengthen your application.

If your program is selected:

Grant recipients will be invited to join the KP HERE podcast and provide quotes for an article on Middle Hitter. Programs will also create a reel or video for the Kevin Pratte Foundation website and Instagram page. At 2027-season matches, if available, your PA announcer will recognize your program as a Kevin Pratte Foundation grant winner.

For the uniform and gear grant, a small Kevin Pratte Foundation logo will be placed on jerseys if approved by your program or university. The Foundation has worked with Slunks to provide uniforms and gear. If your university partners with another major brand, the Foundation will work with that company to make the grant possible.

Apply

Submit your application to kevinpratte6@gmail.com by Monday, November 30.

Share your story, show us what’s possible, and help bring more boys and men into the game!
