In recognition of the unique challenges and opportunities associated with the upcoming summer months, the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) is pleased to offer grants to support summer programming serving children and older youth.

Details:
While virtual, in-person, and hybrid programming will be considered, their hope is that funding availability will encourage organizations to implement summer programs that serve children in a full-day in-person environment, as this has not been a possibility for many children and older youth over the past two years.
Please note priority will be given to applicants that demonstrate the ability to serve children of lower-income families, essential workers, and families experiencing COVID– related challenges.

Organizations may apply for up to $10,000 to support operational costs and/or costs associated with providing scholarships for students.
