All out, all in

 Not strictly. We recognize that "need" can look different for everyone. You can demonstrate eligibility by either:

• Sharing a financial need — for example, limited income, high expenses, or lack of discretionary funds.
• Explaining a compelling reason — such as using sports for mental health, grief support, community connection, or personal healing.

We don’t require tax forms or proof of income. We trust you to be honest and share your situation through the application’s short-answer questions.

 A compelling reason tells us why this opportunity matters to you. For example:

• You’re using this activity as part of your mental health recovery or grief journey.
• You’re returning to a team after a long period of loss or isolation.
• You’re a parent helping your child cope with the loss of a loved one through sport.
• You're transitioning out of the military and finding connection through athletics.

If it helps you heal, reconnect, or find purpose again, that’s compelling.

• Team sports (hockey, football, soccer, volleyball, baseball, etc.)
• Individual activities (martial arts, CrossFit, running clubs, etc.)
• Adaptive/Paralympic sports
• Recreational leagues or fitness programs

If your activity involves structured physical movement and community, it’s likely eligible.

 Complete the All Out, All In Application Form online. You’ll need:

• Contact information
• Sport and team details
• Financial summary
• Short personal statement (about 250 words)
• Optional: invoice or document showing costs

No — but we love when people do. If you’re willing to share your experience (anonymously or publicly), it helps inspire others and honor Daegan’s legacy. You’ll have the option to opt in when applying.

1. Direct Payment to the Organization or Vendor

Whenever possible, the foundation will pay registration or program fees directly to the league, gym, team, or activity provider. This helps ensure the funds are used exactly as intended and reduces out-of-pocket costs for you.

You’ll need to provide:

• The name and contact info of the organization
• An invoice, registration form, or other proof of cost

2. Reimbursement to You (the Applicant)

If you’ve already paid for part of your activity or equipment, we may be able to reimburse up to the approved amount, provided that:

• The expense is eligible
• You submit a dated receipt and proof of payment

3. Prepaid Disbursement Card

The foundation may issue a prepaid disbursement card to help cover eligible expenses directly. This option provides flexibility while still ensuring that the funds are used for their approved purpose.

Use of the card must follow the same guidelines as any other award. Receipts may be requested, and any unused balance must be returned if the activity is canceled or the funds are not fully used.
