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: Youth Development, LGBTQ Youth, Youth of Color, Mental Health, Youth Resiliency
Deadline: June 15, 2024
“Through our Supporting Healthy Minds and Youth Resiliency funding opportunity, the Foundation will support youth of color and youth who identify as LGBTQ+ (age 12 – 18) as they explore and grow their resiliency through identity, agency and belonging. Note: If your organization provides similar programming with a focus on young people ages 18-25, please reach out to us to discuss your program and potential support.
Identity, agency and belonging help youth develop personal and interpersonal capacities, such as relationship development with peers and adults, problem solving, critical thinking, sense of awareness and sense of self – all of which are critical to strengthening resiliency and coping. Proposed programs and/or projects must reflect the Foundation’s cornerstones. These outline who we serve, how our work is informed and our intent to create health equity.
The Foundation will be looking for ways applicants integrate their commitment to growing a sense of identity, agency and belonging for young people throughout their work. An array of youth programming will be considered, such as (but not limited to): Civic engagement and leadership; Poetry and the arts, including healing; Traditional cultural practice; Outdoor adventure; Apprenticeship or job skill training; Community service.”
