PARTNERS, FUNDERS & PLAYER SCHOLARSHIPS

The Foundation was established with the specific purpose of nurturing and developing the sport of girls and womens softball in New Zealand with a particular focus on those experiencing financial hardship.

The criteria for support centres around the need for financial assistance to remain a player or take advantage of higher honours.  There is an expectation successful grant recipients will make a voluntary contribution back to the sport.  International travel is not funded by the Foundation.
