Hockey Coaches Care is an organization committed to helping members of
the amateur hockey community in times of need, as well as organizations
within the amateur hockey community that seek to serve the best
interests of its members.
Funding for Hockey Coaches Care, a tax-exempt, 501 (c) (3) organization
incorporated in the state of Maine, comes from a wide range of
individuals and organizations. A portion of the start-up funding for
Hockey Coaches Care came from the Shawn Walsh Foundation, a fund set up
to honor the late University of Maine head coach.
Hockey Coaches Care will consider applications for grants twice a year,
with individual and organizational awards (capped at $6,000) issued in
May and November of each year.
