OUR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: Youth Today’s grant listings are carefully curated for our subscribers working in youth-related industries. Subscribers will find local, state, regional and national grant opportunities.
THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: COVID-19, Youth Music Education, Youth Development, Social Development, Arts/Culture
Deadline: May 8, 2020
“In light of the impact COVID-19 is having on people across the United States, especially young people, The Lewis Prize for Music is establishing a $1 million COVID-19 Community Response Fund. The fund will distribute over 20 grants of $25,000 to $50,000 to responsive and adaptive Creative Youth Development (CYD) music programs. CYD organizations uniquely act as a critical part of the social fabric devoted to supporting young people’s creative and material well being. By combining artistic training with access to mentorship, meals, transportation, mental health services and even housing, CYD providers are practiced at meeting the immediate and unique needs of young people. During these difficult times, we continue to see organizations within the CYD field foster community and collective resilience, despite having access to limited resources. They need and deserve our support more than ever before.”
