SCC COTA Grant Program

The SCC COTA Grant Program, run by Speedway Children's Charities, aims to support children in the Greater Austin area. In 2023, it provided over $25,000 in grants to local nonprofit organizations focused on critical needs such as homelessness, human trafficking, and medical assistance. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving children. Priority is given to those addressing urgent social issues, ensuring a brighter future for vulnerable youth in the community.
