For the last two years, Nittany Valley Running Club has been distributing small grants to local programs that promote running and are managed independently of the NVRC. The running programs that have been sponsored to date are ones that help develop young runners, and our sponsorship of them helps fulfill the Club's mission. Our sponsorship was, until recently, on an ad hoc basis.

In May of 2006 the Club approved a formal policy for an NVRC Sponsorship Grant Program. This program is a means for the Club to support local running programs through our small annual surplus. The sponsorship grant program is not limited to youth running programs. We've decided it's best to formalize the program to make sure the process is fair and equitable.

The policy is available here.  If you have any comments or questions, email Marty Mazur at mxm14@psu.edu. or Jerry Steffy at run2k1@juno.com.
