The Bloom Where You Are Planted Grant Fund was created by the family of Karl Bloom.  Karl's life was an example to so many people about how to give back to your community.  He was very involved in helping with extracurricular activities as a way of promoting community, service, and health to our youth. This grant will provide support to students with financial need to allow them to pursue extracurricular activities.  Examples of extracurricular activities are piano lessons, karate, art classes, ballet lessons, football, etc. Please fill out all the questions below to be considered for the grant. Grant funds will be sent directly to the extracurricular organization.  Double check the name and address of the organization. Anyone in Mesa County in grades K-12 is eligible to apply for the grants. Typical grants range from $50 to $200.


Grades K-5 may have an adult help them fill out the application form. Grades 6-12 should complete the application themselves. Funds will be paid directly to the organization for the students who receive the grant. Ninth round applications due: Friday, October 20, 2023.  


All questions must be answered to be considered for a grant, but you may answer some of the questions and then come back later to continue your application.  You will be sent an email with a link to continue your work or make changes.  Started applications must be completed by each deadline mentioned above.

Team Stores are now open!

The Grand Valley Youth Football Team Stores are now open through First String GJ. Team Stores will remain open through July 27th. At that point, First String GJ will begin processing the orders to guarantee delivery prior to the first weekend of games. There will be a second order window in August with dates still to be determined. 

We recommend waiting until your assigned team reaches the player minimum before placing an order as we cannot guarantee that all teams will have enough players. The player minimum for 8U is 17 and the player minimum for 10U, 12U, and 14U is 20. If you have any questions about the team stores, please let us know.
