BALTIMORE (WBFF) — The Baltimore Ravens are stepping up their game with an enhanced equipment and apparel grant aimed at benefiting a wider range of athletes.
The revamped Ravens Youth Sports Grant, previously known as the Ravens Youth Football Grant, now offers more package options to support student-athletes across Maryland.
With backing from Under Armour, the Ravens Foundation, Inc. is rolling out the grant to youth and high school football programs, both tackle and flag, starting today. These programs can apply for an apparel grant that will outfit all players with brand new Under Armour jerseys and cleats.

In a new twist this year, female-based sports programs can apply for a package that includes Under Armour sports bras. Additionally, a new package has been introduced to provide football teams with Guardian Caps, a soft-shell helmet cover designed to reduce impact.
These new offerings join a suite of other annual grants from the Ravens, such as field equipment and Heat & Heart packages, which include life-saving AED devices to promote health and safety for young athletes.
Now in its 15th year, the grant has already served over 7,000 local children by providing jerseys, cleats, and other football accessories. In 2024 alone, 170 local youth football teams benefited from the grant.
Applications for the Ravens Youth Sports Grant are available at www.BaltimoreRavens.com/SportsGrants and must be submitted by April 11, 2025.
Grant decisions will be announced in April.
