The Robert H. Janssen Youth & Youth Sports Fund seeks to support programs that enrich the lives of local youth and ideally reflect the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets. Grants are available to local nonprofit organizations providing youth sports programs with an emphasis on active participation over educational programming, provide access to all segments of the community regardless of income level, and operate in the City of SLO and adjacent areas within San Luis Obispo County. Janssen grant funds should represent only a portion of the funds required to implement the program, and a preference is to support direct service costs.
