- At a minimum, grant applicants MUST CURRENTLY PROVIDE prevention, treatment, and/or recovery services to people aged 26 years or younger from at least one of these populations:
- It’s easiest for them to accept grant applications from:
- Not-for-profit organizations with a 501(c)(3) designation that are not private foundations;
- Not-for-profit public benefit corporations;
- Public or diocesan school districts; or
- Private or charter schools.
- The ideal grant partners serve one or more of the populations listed above who also have intersecting identities as members of historically marginalized communities (e.g., Black/AfricanAmerican, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/Indigenous Peoples, disability, housing insecure, immigrant/refugee, LGBTQIA+).
- While organizations may have more than one active grant with the Foundation at any given time, they are likely to give preference to organizations that have not received a grant award recently. If they decline a funding request, your organization may reapply as soon as the following cycle.
