Foundation Grants
The Atlanta Thrashers Foundation takes pride in giving back to communities where our fans live, work and play. One way that we support these neighborhoods is through the Foundation's grant program. To make a meaningful impact, the Foundation has chosen to support the following three focus areas:
- Education – This grant is awarded to a non-profit that is using innovative methods and programs to educate Georgia’s youth.
- Health – In support of the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer initiative, this grant will be awarded to an organization fighting children’s cancer and/or supporting those children battling the disease.
- Sports & Fitness – In an effort to help reduce childhood obesity, this grant will be awarded to a non-profit organization helping kids develop an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits.
Since the Atlanta Thrashers Foundation receives funding requests far in excess of its budget, worthy causes may be declined when even when the request falls into one of the three focus areas. The Foundation will be accepting grant applications from January 1, 2010 thru February 28, 2010. Award notifications will be made in June 2010.
