THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Youth Welfare/Development, Youth Services, Youth Inequality, At-risk Youth, NYC
Deadline: Apr. 2, 2025
“The Youth Service Improvement Grants (YSIG) program supports activities to improve the quality of direct services for young people ages 5 to 25 in the five boroughs of New York City. The goal is to strengthen existing services by helping youth-serving nonprofit organizations address challenges or remedy problems at the point of service, where staff and youth interact. YSIG urges applicants not only to discuss their organizations’ promise and potential, but to identify gaps or challenges in the services they provide. We ask applicants to be critical and reflective, to consider why and how complications exist, and to articulate how they intend to improve the ability of their programming to provide positive impact on youth.
Examples of problem areas for improvement include: inadequate curriculum, gaps in the service skills of frontline staff, or a limitation in current services that adversely affects participants’ experiences. Beyond these examples, we welcome other compelling needs for service improvement.”
Funder: The William T. Grant Foundation
Eligibility: “The YSIG program awards grants only to youth-serving community-based nonprofit organizations physically located in any of the five boroughs of New York City whose staff have direct programmatic contact with youth at the point of service.”
Amount: $25,000
