Positive Coaching Alliance, in collaboration with Eat. Learn. Play., the Oakland-based charity founded by Stephen and Ayesha Curry, is excited to announce the 2025–26 Oakland Athletic League Community Sports Grant Program. This initiative aims to enhance youth sports access for middle school students in Oakland.
The grant is specifically designed to support the launch of six sports programs in Fall 2025, including Cross Country, Girls Volleyball, Cheerleading, Futsal, Girls and Boys Flag Football, and Swimming. The focus is on serving students in grades 6–8 at public schools. Grant funds, provided by Eat. Learn. Play., will be awarded to community-based organizations (CBOs) with a strong local presence, a commitment to equity, and the capacity to deliver high-quality, inclusive sports opportunities.
The funds can only be used for program delivery, such as stipends, equipment, and rentals. Eligible organizations must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits or have fiscal sponsorship, have been in operation for at least two years, and serve Oakland youth in grades 6–8.
