Summary
This funding opportunity offers multiple streams of support for efforts that improve the wellbeing, development, and future opportunities of young people, especially from infancy through early adulthood. It is designed to help both organizations and individuals who are focused on strengthening outcomes in areas such as health, nutrition, learning, and community engagement. The opportunity is available to eligible applicants in specific regions of the United States, with some funding targeted to statewide or regional priorities and other streams open more broadly to qualified research institutions.
One avenue of support focuses on applied research that seeks to address practical questions about early health, nutrition, care, and developmental outcomes. These research awards are intended to provide meaningful resources that help experienced investigators advance high-impact projects, while also offering smaller grants that support emerging researchers exploring new ideas. The goal is to elevate work that directly contributes to improved understanding and better practices affecting children’s lives.
Another stream of awards targets nonprofit organizations and community programs that serve youth and families in defined counties within a particular Midwestern state. These grants are often modest in size and flexible in use, helping local agencies expand or enhance programs that benefit children and teens, such as after-school enrichment, wellbeing initiatives, literacy, and supportive services. Organizations that focus on positive youth experiences and development are particularly encouraged to apply.
In addition to institutional support, there is an opportunity for individuals — specifically young adults graduating from high school in certain local areas — to receive financial support toward post-secondary education or career training. These awards are merit-based and designed to help bridge the gap between graduation and future success through vocational training, college attendance, or certification programs.
Across all streams, the intent of the funds is to enable meaningful, sustainable impact — whether through supporting innovative research, strengthening community programs, or helping individuals pursue educational advancement. Deadlines for applications typically occur on a recurring annual cycle, and the awards are distributed each year to a diverse group of recipients committed to positive outcomes for youth and families.
