"We appreciate Ludus' commitment to volleyball at the grassroots level in the form of its Ludus Sport Development Grant."
"As an organization, we went to the drawing board to figure out how we can help an organization like USA Volleyball," said Adam Dailey, Managing Director at Ludus Tours. "For Ludus, we wanted to look back after a few years and see progress from the elite to the grassroots levels and if we can contribute to that in even one small positive way, we're contributing in a way that we're very proud of."
Applications will be accepted immediately and will be reviewed upon receipt. Applicants will be notified when the application is received and when a decision has been made concerning the application. Applicants should expect a response within 45 days of submitting their application.
Grant funds must be tracked and a written account of their use must be provided to USAV by July 1, 2012.
