THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Youth Development, Youth Welfare, Youth Safety, Youth Leadership, Violence Prevention
Deadline: Sept. 17, 2021 (pre-applications)
“The Foundation empowers youth to succeed at school, ijn their communities and in life. We are committed to fostering their ability to become equitable and inclusive leaders and establish healthy personal relationships that are free of violence. We provide tools, resources and experiences so youth and young adults are empowered to achieve their hopes and dreams.
In light of the pandemic and economic and social injustice crises, young people’s needs have greatly escalated. Never has there been a better time to increase our investment in solutions that bring about real change at a rate that outpaces ever-growing needs.
The Foundation will grant $3M across the following two focus areas:
Focus Area 1: Relationship Violence Prevention Programs
- Innovative, local and culturally relevant healthy relationship education and relationship violence prevention-related programming for teens and young adults of color and/or other marginalized communities.
Focus Area 2: Inclusive Leadership Programs for Youth and Educators
- Service-learning programs that provide resources and experiences for youth to engage in civic and community activities that increase their capacity to be inclusive leaders, develop a sense of collective responsibility, and take action for social change and racial equity.
- Positive youth development programs that empower youth to reach their full potential as leaders who demonstrate and promote equity and inclusion within their learning environments and communities. Programs should be youth centered and designed to allow youth to actively participate in anti-racism, anti-bias, and equity-focused practice to increase their understanding and competency in advancing racial equity as well as the more conventional youth development cognitive, psychological and behavioral gains.
- Professional development programs for educators (e.g., teachers, administrators, out-of-school program providers, etc.) to improve their culturally responsive teaching practices that result in safe, affirming and equitable learning environments in which all youth are able to thrive.”
