WFCA announces 2025 recipients of grant program

In 2019, the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association rolled out the WFCA Grant program to supplement high school football budgets with an emphasis on the health and well-being of the students participating in state high school programs. The WFCA Grant is designed to enhance programs beyond what a typical budget will cover. Elements such as player safety, injury prevention, and concussion protocol are examples of items the WFCA would entertain and apply weight to in determining recipients of a WFCA Grant. Things that the Grant is NOT intended for include: coach’s salaries, equipment reconditioning, and game uniforms, to name a few.

There will be a maximum of 1 application accepted per school, per year. Significance will be applied to schools with a yearly budget or three-year average budget under $3,000. The head coach of the applicant program must be a member of the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association.
 
If awarded a grant in 2022, 2023, or 2024, schools were not eligible this year.
