RunSignup Community Grant Program

Up to $10,000 | Due 12/31/2025

The RunSignup Community Grant supports nonprofit organizations that promote the endurance industry. Examples of previous winners include youth running and biking programs, nonprofits providing support to runners with physical disabilities, and organizations using running to break the cycles of poverty. Currently, we are accepting applications for 2026 awardees.

Requirements for applicants include:

Must be a 501(c)3 Non-Profit and be able to provide their EIN.
Must have an endurance-related central mission.
Must have a nomination application completed. An organization can be nominated by more than one person; however, this does not increase the chances of award for the organization.
Must not have been awarded OR must not have received RunSignup’s Community Grant award within the last three years. This means 2026 winners will be ineligible to reapply until 2030.
