Students are the future

We believe in the importance of students participating in an environment that emphasizes the development of character, citizenship and leadership.

That’s why the NIAAA Endowment Fund was established: to help provide athletic administrators with the tools necessary to maximize opportunities for student-athletes.

Thanks to member contributions and efforts made by the Endowment Committee, the Endowment Fund grows each year. At the National Conference, fundraisers like golf tournaments, silent auctions and fun runs provide additional funds to the Endowment.

Currently, the Endowment Fund offers an Outreach Program and a Grant Program. Both programs are available to state athletic administrator associations to help provide professional development to athletic directors in their state. Executive Directors can apply through the Member Portal. Applicants are chosen by the NIAAA Board at the February and/or July meetings.

Grant Application

Executive directors may apply for the grant application in order to assist state athletic administrator associations by providing funds for professional development. This includes bringing in qualified course instructors, a keynote speaker, and payment for their stipend, transportation, and lodging at a state conference.

Professional Outreach Application

This opportunity offers professional development for athletic administrators who have difficulty attending state or national professional development conferences and are not active in state or national associations. If granted, this outreach will include several courses and a one-year NIAAA membership.
