Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support youth-focused programs. The funding is intended to strengthen access to recreational, educational, and enrichment activities that help young people build skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging. The opportunity is especially interested in efforts that address barriers to participation and promote inclusion for youth from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds.
Grant funding is available to nonprofit organizations that serve children and teens through structured activities such as sports, arts, clubs, camps, and afterschool or summer programs. Eligible applicants are typically community-based nonprofits or organizations working under a fiscal sponsor. Small businesses and individual applicants are not eligible for this opportunity. Preference is given to organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to equity and that actively serve underrepresented or historically marginalized youth populations within the region.
Award amounts generally range from approximately $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the scope and impact of the proposed project.

The intent is to help organizations reduce financial, logistical, and social obstacles that prevent youth from participating fully in enrichment opportunities.
Beyond financial support, this grant opportunity aims to encourage collaboration, innovation, and long-term community impact. Funded projects are expected to contribute to stronger youth engagement, improved access to opportunities, and a more inclusive environment for young people across the region. Overall, the grant reflects a commitment to ensuring that all youth, regardless of background, have meaningful opportunities to learn, connect, and thrive.
