At the heart of the Fiesta Sports Foundation is a simple mission: to enhance organizations that contribute to the success of their communities through youth, sports and education. Through its two annual bowl games in the Valley, the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl and the Rate Bowl, as well as community events throughout the year, Fiesta Sports Foundation has impacted hundreds of thousands throughout Arizona!
Important Changes to Fiesta Sports Foundation Grant Cycle!
Introducing the 2025-26 Fiesta Sports Foundation Grant Cycle's new two-step process.
The Fiesta Sports Foundation invites all Arizona nonprofit organizations serving in the areas of youth, sports and education to submit an interest form briefly introducing the proposed impact and budget of the project.
Interest forms will be reviewed and considered based on alignment within the Fiesta Sports Foundation pillars (youth, sports and education) and considering the following criteria:
- Project impact is focused in Arizona
- Alignment with one or more Fiesta Sports Foundation's pillars
- Methods/activities and use of best practices
- Grant request level is consistent with the project budget
- Sustainability of the project or program
Following the review process of all interest forms, the Fiesta Sports Foundation will invite selected nonprofit organizations to present a formal application during the traditional Fiesta Sports Foundation Grant Cycle application period in April 2025.
Invitations to apply to the Fiesta Sports Foundation Grant Cycle will be extended to select organizations by April 4, 2025. Nonprofit organizations may contact charities@fiestabowl.org with additional questions on this year's Grant Cycle.
