Are you between the ages of 12-21 with a great idea for an event, club or project?
We can bring your idea to life with up to $500 in grant funding. We’ve supported initiatives like a backpack buddies, computer coding classes and a sustainable gardening workshop event. The grant may be used to cover expenses such as building rental, equipment rentals, publicity, entertainment and/or refreshments.
Are you a local non-profit, community group or agency that supports local youth?
We can assist in funding up to $3000 for youth-focused projects, existing programs or events! Previous recipients have received support for mentorship initiatives such as, 2SLGBTQIA+ clubs, outdoor education, empowerment camps, wellness programs and more. Grants may be used to cover staffing costs and/or program expenses, new events, programs or services, or to enhance existing events, programs or services, which have proven successful. Efforts should be made to involve children and youth who are not normally involved in community activities.
