Bridging the Gap Grant 2024

Applications are now CLOSED

Each year, the Fellows participate in one of our three social action committees to work together in smaller groups on a long-term project, and ultimately learn the ins-and-outs of grant-making. After choosing a set of diversity-related community issues they would like to target, the committee members develop a Request For Proposal, review grant proposals, and ultimately decide together how to allocate up to $1,500 to the organization(s) of their choice.

YouthBridge-NY teens will be reviewing all of the applications and supplemental materials after the deadline on Friday, March 1, 2024. They will collectively decide which organization(s) are having an impact in their communities and award mini-grants by June 2023.

If your organization fits at least one of the criteria outlined in the request for proposals, apply below for the chance to receive a grant of up to $500.

Eligibility:

Must be a tax-exempt, 501(c)3 organization
