Grants

Changing the narrative about female driver athletes participating in racing is an on-going and challenging mission. At Shift Up Now, our dedication—our main focus—is to offer grants which are used to award opportunities to female racers believed to have the talent and aptitude to succeed in motorsports, giving them access to more competitive equipment, seat time for testing and practice, and resources to help grow their careers.

If you’re looking to build on your career as a female driver, we welcome you to submit for one of the grants that we will be awarding in 2025. Our grants are open for drivers that meet the following initial criteria:

• Female racers who are competing at a professional or semi-professional level in 2025
• Those whom have significant sponsorship towards their season and for whom a grant of $5,000 -
  $10,000 would make a difference or impact for their season

We welcome and consider every eligible inquiry. Please fill out and submit the form found below. Thanks for your interest!
