Grant Opportunities
Impact Grant: This grant is designed for organizations whose primary focus is serving underprivileged youth in the Greater Manchester area. The funding amount will range from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the scope and needs of the proposed project. A limited number of Impact Grants will be awarded.
Youth Services Grant: This grant supports organizations with a youth-focused mission. The maximum award for this grant is $1,000.
After reviewing all applications, a Grant Committee will make recommendations to the Board of Directors for final approval with estimated notifications to recipients in early May and distribution of grants in mid-May.
We are eager to support organizations that are dedicated to enriching the lives of youth in the Greater Manchester area. We encourage all eligible organizations to apply for these grants and look forward to learning about the innovative projects you are undertaking to make a positive impact on our community.
