“Through our Invest in Youth Grant Program, we support organizations working to ensure that young people in Brooklyn have the opportunity and agency to achieve social and economic success. Brooklyn Community Foundation envisions a fair and just Brooklyn, built on dignity and respect, where all residents have the opportunity to participate and prosper. To achieve this vision, we place racial justice at the center of all we do and focus on removing structural barriers that diminish opportunities and positive outcomes for young people, especially youth of color.
To that end, the Invest in Youth grantmaking program supports Brooklyn-serving nonprofit organizations that are working with youth, ages 16-24, toward enabling their social and economic success by:
- Expanding opportunities for transformational youth development and authentic leadership
- Increasing educational and economic opportunities for court-involved youth
- Reducing school suspensions and preventing youth involvement in the criminal justice system
- Empowering immigrant youth to create and access necessary resources and services
Grants will be made in three areas of focus:
- Youth Development & Leadership
- Youth Justice
- Immigrant Youth & Families”
Funder: Brooklyn Community Foundation
Eligibility: Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations serving and having a physical presence in Brooklyn.
Amount: $20,000 – $50,000
