Speedway Children's Charities is an organization dedicated to helping children. We operate as a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) organization, and produce and coordinate various events throughout the year to raise funds to distribute to worthy children's organizations.

It is our desire to meet the medical, educational, and social needs of all children. You are eligible to apply for funding from Speedway Children's Charities if you are an existing 501(c)(3) non-profit charity whose primary focus is children. We serve the counties of Carter, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington in Tennessee and Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazwell, Washington and Wise in Virginia.

As you will see in the Grant Application your project must directly affect the needs of children. Grants will not be made for capital funding projects (construction of buildings or remodeling projects) or for the purchase of vehicles.

Speedway Children's Charities will consider one grant request per federal Tax ID number each year. If your non-profit has more than one organization functioning under the same Tax ID number, we ask that you select one organization to apply for funding.

The 2010 application deadline is August 1, 2010. Absolutely no exceptions will be made and applications will not be accepted via fax, or email. Please select one of the links below to download the application.

The Speedway Children's Charities Board of Trustees will meet in late-October to make final decisions on awarding grants. You will be notified in writing whether or not your charity will receive funding by early November. Grants will be distributed at the Night of Smiles in November, 2010 prior to the opening of Autotrader.com Speedway In Lights Powered by TVA.
