Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $350,000
Summary
A robust grant program focused on supporting youth development, education, and pathways to future success in select urban regions of the northeastern United States. Grants are available to nonprofit institutions that serve children and young people roughly between the ages of five and twenty-one, with special emphasis on programs that help students achieve academic success, transition from high school to college or training, and gain meaningful skills for career and life readiness. Funding supports organizations based in major metropolitan areas, particularly around Boston and New York, including nearby communities where access to opportunity may be limited.
This grant initiative is designed to reinforce a wide range of youth-centered services and programs that demonstrate measurable impact. Eligible nonprofit organizations typically include community learning centers, after-school and summer programs, career preparation providers, college access and persistence initiatives, and other educational and social development organizations. The foundation’s interests span academic readiness, life skills development, career connected learning, youth reengagement, and long-term mentorship efforts. A portion of funds also go toward general operating support for established youth organizations with proven records of success.
Award amounts vary depending on the type and scale of program support requested. In recent grant cycles, nonprofit partners have received funding that ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to sums in the low hundreds of thousands, enabling them to expand programs, strengthen internal capacity, offer more comprehensive services, or scale successful models to reach additional young people.
This opportunity benefits charitable organizations, not individual students or businesses. The focus on nonprofit eligibility and clearly defined outcomes encourages proposals that address educational inequities, improve support systems for underserved youth, and help communities build stronger pipelines from school to adulthood. The grant program thus serves as a meaningful source of philanthropic backing for mission-driven organizations committed to lifting the potential of young people in urban and surrounding areas.
