    Submit the application form outlining your gym, your young people, and your current challenges. We assess applications based on authenticity, need, work beyond boxing and impact, and may follow up before making a final decision.

    Review Process

    Applications are reviewed at the next quarterly meeting. The panel may request additional information or a phone conversation. Successful applicants are notified within 14 days of the review meeting. Unsuccessful applicants may reapply after six months.
