The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan is responding to the tragedy in Oxford by inviting proposals from school districts that address gun violence education, school safety, mental health, bullying, and other impacts of the pandemic.
Donor Name: Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan
State: Michigan
County: Selected Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 03/18/2022

Details:
Grants are made only to youth-led programs, meaning that youth are involved in the vision for the project, the development of the application, and will be involved in implementing the work if a grant is received; it’s great if the youth have adult allies who are assisting or supporting them in their effort, but youth must be involved for a grant to be considered.
