| Home Membership Events Grants News Contact | NCO Training Grant Program The Northern California Olympians (NCO) Grant Program was established in 1998 to provide direct financial assistance to athletes with successful competitive records who have the potential to be placed on future Olympic or Paralympic Teams. An individual or team may request a grant up to $1,000. Applicants must be residents of Northern California and demonstrate the ability, based on competitive record and years in training, to compete at an elite level. Requests for assistance are considered for coaching, specialized training, equipment, attire and/or travel. Grants are reviewed by the NCO's Board of Directors. The NCO grant program is funded with proceeds of the NCO's quadrennial Welcome Dinner, annual golf tournament (held with BASOC in the years between Welcome Home dinners), and gifts from Olympians and community members. Financial contributions are received year-round with gratitude and are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. Please review the Grant Application Guidelines prior to submitting an application. |
