Opportunity Grants
Your opportunity awaits. Financial barriers shouldn't decide who gets to play.
What is an Opportunity Grant?
Help is here — no questions asked.
The KCF Opportunity Grant exists to help athletes just like YOU. If you need financial assistance to join our programs, we're here for you. Whether you need full or partial support, we'll work with you. All you have to do is ask.
No matter your background or financial situation — if you want to play, we will make it happen.
