Summary

Unlock transformative funding opportunities designed to empower youth and strengthen communities across Minnesota, Dallas, and the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. This initiative seeks to support nonprofits and community organizations dedicated to fostering holistic development in under-resourced areas.


Eligible entities, including nonprofits and small businesses, can apply for grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, which can be utilized for programs that nurture youth ages 5-25 through creative expression, mindfulness practices, and STEM education.


The funding prioritizes initiatives that extend beyond traditional classroom settings, focusing on long-term engagement rather than short-term activities. Programs that operate in after-school, weekend, and summer formats are particularly encouraged to apply, especially those that involve entire families and promote interactions among youth from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.


This approach not only enhances individual growth but also cultivates a sense of community and inclusivity.


Organizations that demonstrate leadership reflective of the communities they serve and those that have established metrics for measuring outcomes over time will be viewed favorably. The goal is to empower the next generation by fostering authentic leadership and transformative experiences that resonate deeply within the community.


While letters of inquiry are welcomed, unsolicited proposals will not be accepted. This funding opportunity invites you to be part of a movement that envisions a diverse, inclusive, and equitable society where all youth can achieve their limitless potential. By engaging with this initiative, you will not only access essential resources but also contribute to meaningful change that can ripple through generations.


Embrace this opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of young individuals and their communities.
