DisCap proudly offers fundraising and/or grants for promoting the growth or improvement of disc golf courses throughout New York's Capital Region .  The Fundraising is available for any DisCap member or group of members.  All Fundraising is subject to the requirements, guidelines and criterion listed in this application as well as available funding each year.  

You can apply to this program at anytime. The DisCap Board of Directors anticipates reviewing and making decision on Fundraising at upcoming board meetings. Applications may be awarded, decline or delayed. Applications are evaluated by the entire DisCap Board using a shared and standard rubric.  

The DisCap Course Fundraising Program is designed to support specific disc sport materials, infrastructure and projects that help to grow disc sports for the use and enjoyment of the general public and not to fund the sanctioning of tournaments or leagues.
