Every child deserves the chance to play, dream, and belong

Gear to Grant (G2G) is a student-led nonprofit that turns unused sports gear into opportunities for under-resourced athletes. We collect donated equipment, clean and refurbish it, and use it to support low-income youth programs and fund microgrants that remove financial barriers—so every child can play the sport they love.
