Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to support organizations that offer programs helping young people make informed, healthy, and responsible choices. The grant is available to groups operating within a major metropolitan area in the Northeastern United States, particularly those whose programs directly serve youth living across several densely populated urban neighborhoods. While the primary focus is on nonprofit organizations, the opportunity may also consider collaborations that involve schools, community partners, or other entities working toward youth development and educational improvement.
Eligible applicants typically include registered nonprofit organizations that provide educational, preventive, or wellness-focused programming for young people. The intention of the funding is to serve as early-stage support for developing or expanding initiatives that promote healthy behaviors, empower youth with practical knowledge, and strengthen community resources. This may include activities related to health education, mentoring, outreach, life skills, or other approaches that encourage positive decision-making among adolescents.
Grant amounts generally fall within a modest range, allowing organizations to test new ideas, refine programming, or establish pilot projects. Funds may be used for direct program expenses, educational materials, evaluation efforts, staff support, or community engagement activities aligned with the overall goals of the initiative. The funding is not intended for large-scale operational costs but rather for targeted program development that can demonstrate measurable community benefit.
Application timelines may vary, as this opportunity does not follow a strict annual cycle. Instead, proposals are reviewed periodically, providing flexibility for organizations to apply when their programs are ready for support. Awards are provided on a recurring basis throughout the year, depending on the availability of resources and alignment with the mission focus.
Overall, this grant opportunity is ideal for nonprofits seeking to enhance youth well-being, develop meaningful educational programs, and create lasting impact within key neighborhoods of a major Northeastern city.
Organizations and individuals based in New York who are engaged in Non-Profit Support Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
