Currently, we serve any student enrolled in a Colorado high school or in their first year at a Colorado higher education institution.

Please send us an exact dollar amount of how much money you are requesting. If you send us a range (e.g., “I’m applying for $200-$400), we will automatically choose the lowest amount for your application.

We want to hear from the student(s) themselves! At this time, any applications sent in by an adult in any capacity (i.e., coach, teacher, club sponsor, parent, etc.) will be automatically declined.

No. We distribute funds on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Students can apply for funding once every six months.

For example: If a student’s first application is approved on January 1st, this student can apply again for funding on or after July 1st.

Because the board of the Sabatini Fund is run on a voluntary status by its three members, please allow for up to two weeks’ processing time. We will contact you as soon as we have come to a decision regarding your application.

In order to ensure funding makes its way to the proper channels, we do not send funds directly to the applicant, or their family. Instead, we will coordinate payment with the institution in charge of the activity. For example, if you are applying for funds to play fast-pitch softball, we will arrange payment with the coach or club team operator.

In order to uphold our fiduciary responsibility to donors and remain aligned with our mission, we do not provide unrestricted grants. All funds are allocated to an identified student for a defined extracurricular purpose.

We believe donors deserve to understand the impact of their support. We share broad updates, such as how many students were funded or which activities were supported. We intentionally protect student privacy and never share recipient names, personal details, or individual award amounts, unless explicitly approved by the applicant(s) themselves and their parent(s) and/or guardian(s).

We do not share applicant data with any third party companies or anyone outside of the three board members listed on our site here: Ashley, Tim, and Andrew. Applicant data is anonymized until funds are disbursed. We understand it may feel uncomfortable to share your information online in this day and age. We encourage you to look at our privacy statement here.

The Sabatini Fund is qualified to receive tax deductible donations under Internal Revenue Code Section (IRC) 170, and is classified as a public charity under IRC Section 501(c)(3).

Our tax-exempt ID is 33-5023820.
