OUR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: Youth Today’s grant listings are carefully curated for our subscribers working in youth-related industries. Subscribers will find local, regional, state and national grant opportunities.
THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Youth-led Projects, Youth/Young Filmmaker, Arts/Culture, Artist Support
Deadline: Dec. 31, 2025
“The Y-CAM Production Grant supports young filmmakers in the Mid-Atlantic region (ages 13–19) with funding to create new moving-image projects. Each cycle, one or two recipients receive $600 to bring their vision to life—from film and animation to podcasts or experimental work.
Through the Y-CAM Production Grant, young filmmakers receive support to bring their stories to life, and creative partners help turn imagination into real-world opportunities. Our goal is to connect passion with possibility — empowering youth to create while inviting a community of collaborators to transform creativity into lasting impact. We believe great stories change how people see the world. This award empowers emerging creators to build skills, gain confidence, and share their voice. Whether you are filming your first short, animating a story, or finishing your documentary, this grant helps you take the next step.”
