The GoHawkeye Foundation believes that the power of sports and recreation is essential to the quality of life by helping to develop confidence, independence, and good health through physical and mental strength. These benefits are especially important for those living with a disability.

Our GoHawkeye Sports Equipment Grants help applicants acquire outdoor sports equipment. Awards are based on funds available at the time of the awards cycle. 

GoHawkeye grants rarely exceed $5,000, and we look for applicants who are motivated in fundraising to reach their goal. You should be applying for other grants and/or have some personal savings/fundraising to apply toward a grant. We especially like to “finish” your efforts if we are able. The applications are the same for adaptive individuals or organizations. Email hawkeye@gohawkeye.com if you have any questions.

If you receive a grant, we may use your name, state of residence, photos, and essay for marketing purposes through social media, newsletters, and website. You are required to provide a follow-up essay on using the equipment if receiving a grant.
