Philly youth sports fund:pysc started to facilitate the distribution of public funding to community based organizations through the philly youth sports fund program. The fund is a grant program designed to support small, neighborhood-based youth sports providers in philadelphia. It offers micro-grants to enhance access, promote inclusivity, and improve quality programming for children across the city of philadelphia. In 2024, pysc awarded $71,000 in grants to 44 community organizations. Both 501(c)(3) organizations and llcs were eligible to apply. All applicants were required to submit their organization's ein or tin number. This information was subsequently verified through charity navigator and/or guidestar for nonprofit organizations, and confirmed via the pennsylvania department of state's business registration database for llcs.
