The city is now accepting grant applications from individuals to fund qualifying educational, socialization, enrichment/recreation activities, employment skills training, and other youth development opportunities.
Donor Name: City of Haverhill
State: Massachusetts
City: Haverhill
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/14/2023
Size of the Grant: $250,000
Details:
The City issued a solicitation notice that sought eligible applicants to propose educational options, socialization, enrichment and recreation activities, employment skills training, and other youth development opportunities. It is the city’s intention that a minimum of $250,000 of the funding be for services that provide direct mental health and substance abuse counseling and services for youth in Haverhill.
The city encourages beneficiaries to submit applications for youth activity funding that will have a significant impact on the mental health and overall wellbeing of the young person being considered in the application. Each applicant will be required to identify a negative impact the pandemic has created for the youth, and how the proposed activity will reasonably and proportionally respond to that impact. Purchases, such as sports equipment, classroom and educational supplies, art supplies, and safety clothing, are allowed to the degree that these investments are required for the activity outlined in the grant application, or making them available to children in families who, for economic reasons, could not normally take advantage of the activity.
The Fund is designed to serve those who traditionally lack access to services because of economic opportunity. The city strongly encourages applications that will serve disadvantaged youth who traditionally lack access to activities and services due to economic barriers, such as fees, uniforms, equipment, and other expenses such as transportation.
The city strongly encourages and will give preference to applications that will ultimately serve youth who reside in households that qualify as low-income (or disproportionately impacted) as defined by treasury.
Eligibility Requirements
Below are general eligibility requirements that all beneficiaries must meet to apply:
- Must be a resident of Haverhill
- For any youth social, well-being, and education grant activity awards, the applicant must meet, at a minimum, the moderate-income limit requirements as defined by household size in table 1 above.
- The applicant has not received alternate Federal, State or Local grant funding to cover the same intended uses identified in this grant application to the city.
