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 Mentoring/Mentorships, Youth w/ Disabilities, Substance Use/Abuse, Massachusetts, New York
Deadline: Sept. 4, 2026
“In 2026, the Community Experts Fund will award grants to organizations offering mentoring and coaching support. Grants will benefit programs that provide mentoring and coaching support to young people with intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health challenges, or substance use disorders. The fund is not intended to create mentoring capacity in organizations not already providing mentoring services.
This grant initiative is led by the Tower Foundation’s Community Experts Team, a group of young adults with lived expertise relating to the Foundation’s funding areas and with ties to the communities where services will be delivered. Engaging Community Experts Team members in the grantmaking process both amplifies community voice and informs the Foundation’s grantmaking with the concerns, insights, and priorities of the young people we serve.”
Funder: The Peter and Elizabeth Tower Foundation
