Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned
Details:
The City of Columbus is committed to serving vulnerable, at-risk and underserved youth, particularly those disproportionately impacted by crime, violence and other related challenges. This grant provides reimbursement for allowable program expenses.
The City of Columbus intends to invest in high-quality programming during the upcoming summer months to benefit young people who reside within the City’s corporate boundary. The purpose of this investment, which will be made available to selected organizations in the form of a grant, is to expand opportunities for Columbus youth to engage in education, recreation, workforce development, and college readiness in a safe and supportive environment.
Providing young people with safe opportunities to learn, grow, and form healthy, positive relationships can reduce the likelihood of their involvement in and/or being impacted by crime, violence, and other unsafe behaviors. As such, the City is keenly focused on supporting summer programs that are most likely to serve vulnerable, at-risk, and/or underserved youth who are disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and related challenges as well as young people who are not often afforded opportunities to participate in high-quality programming.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for funding consideration, the applicant organization must be registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the Internal Revenue Service and able to deliver a program during the summer months (i.e., May through September) to young people between the ages of 5 and 18 who reside in the City of Columbus.
The City encourages eligible organizations to consider applying for funding to support summer youth programming that fulfills one or more of the following outcomes:
- Increase academic performance and improve health and wellbeing
- Improve career readiness and workplace skills.
