Help Paying for Roller Derby

RJR operates as a non-profit with a philosophy to welcoe all who want to skate, including those who may require financial support.  RJR can offer short term relief from dues due to hardship.   We hope this help allows families to get through a tough time due to unforeseen financial hurdles.   We recognize in times on instability, having normalcy and routine is very important to youth.

Sometimes, short term relief isn't enough.    Please consider these known grants, and if you find others of benefit to our families, please let us know.

All Kids Play

All Kids Play provides funding to families and communities who lack the resources to pay for youth sports. Grants are available to qualifying families with kids in grade K-12 and not-for-profit community-based recreational sports organizations in low income areas on a need and first-come, first served basis as funds are available. Individual grants can be used for registration, equipment and other associated fees for sports classes, recreational leagues, and travel sports.

Every Kid Sports provides youth sports grants to kids from income-restricted families so that they too can experience the positive benefits of playing. To qualify, a child must meet the following requirements:

1. The child is currently enrolled in Medicaid, SNAP or WIC

2. The sport they are applying for is recreational, not elite or travel

3. The child is between the ages of 4-18

4. The sports season lasts at least 4 weeks
