Rule #2: The purpose of your program must be to get at-risk girls involved in sports and fitness.

Rule #3: Your program must be a 501(c)3 in the early stages of operation. Most of our grants range between $2000 and $5000. We give 'em to folks who show that they can do a lot with a little.

Rule #4: You gotta email us with your idea. We prefer short, 1-page letters, so don't waste your precious time putting together a fancy proposal.

Strike 1: Please don't call us or send us your letter via snail mail.

Strike 2: We do not fund co-ed programs or programs already thriving through other donors.

You're Out: Do not send us a form letter or proposal. We won't even read 'em.

Poster Girls:
Not a lot of rules here. We have a limited quantity of posters so we give preference to schools and rec centers. Just contact your local retail store or email postergirls@titlenine.com. Tell us what you'll use em for and ideally, how many you'd like to have.

Certificate of Support:
A Certificate of Support is our way of giving a big high five to the unique and quirky ways our customers find their own starting blocks. There's no system to this program. Just every once in awhile we come across a story that deserves a big pat on the back. In these cases, we may hook you up with gear and garb or send you a Certificate of Support good for merchandise at any of our T9 locations.

• Unique and quirky is good.
• AIDS Rides, Team in Training and other cause-related events are all wonderful, but are not within the scope of our Starting Block mission.
