Subject: Youth Development | Deadline: Ongoing.
“With its grantmaking in the Foster Youth program area, the Trust aims to provide children and youth who have experienced disruption or instability in their homes with the support, resources, skills, and knowledge they need to become healthy, self-sufficient, resilient, and successful adults. Families and communities are included in the Trust’s grantmaking to support foster youth, as part of a holistic approach to enrich the quality of life, promote self-sufficiency, and assist individuals in achieving their highest potential. The majority of the Trust’s Foster Youth grantmaking will be devoted to direct services for individuals, families, and communities, but a small number of grants may advance the work of organizations engaged in research and communication initiatives that raise awareness about the issues facing foster youth and encourage the implementation of policies and practices that effectively address these issues.”
