Children, Youth & Families Program

Investing in the well-being of young people

The CY&F Capacity Building Grant Program is currently on hold while we focus on emergency needs related to the COVID-19 crisis.
Please check back over the next few weeks to see if we will offer another grant cycle in 2020.

 *****

The CY&F Capacity Building Grant Program is designed to help young people realize their full potential and become caring, productive citizens. The focus is on  youth who face economic and/or personal barriers to success. The program provides proven youth-serving nonprofits in our geographic catchment area with funds for capacity building projects designed to strengthen the agency’s core capacities.

The Spring 2020 Grant Cycle is closed.
