ASEA-CEF Grant Application
In the spirit of spreading the joy of winter and making snowsports accessible to anyone who wants to learn, the American Snowsports Education Association-Central Education Foundation (ASEA-CEF) has grant money available for the 2025-26 winter season.
Last year the foundation distributed $7,000 and plans to distribute even more this year to organizations whose goals align with the ASEA-CEF mission and vision statements.
Are you a group that could use a small grant to share sliding on snow with new participants? Maybe a youth organization needing funding to teach your members about the ski industry? A local ski club that wants to get more participants from non-traditional backgrounds? We are inviting applications from groups operating in the Central Division.
We look forward to sharing our resources this winter, as well as building additional resources to share in the future. If you are interested in working with the Central Education Foundation or have any further needs or questions, please email Foundation@PSIA-C.org.
Applications are available starting September 22nd, 2025 and accepted through October 10, 2025. Apply here:
