Impacting Area Youth

FACF Youth Advisory Committee Offering Grants for Youth Programs

The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) of Fremont Area Community Foundation is accepting grant applications for programs that improve the quality of life for youth in Newaygo County.
​
Multiple grants of up to $12,500 are available to support programs impacting local youth. The group used the results of a needs assessment survey to develop three funding priorities for the grants:

• H.E.L.P. (Helping Everyone Live Positively): support for Newaygo County youth who face challenges with drugs, questioned sexuality, teen pregnancy, or poor home life
• Social opportunities for youth: building and improving recreational and educational activities for local youth
• Continued educational opportunities: provide youth with helpful skills to aid in their success in employment and leadership in Newaygo County

Grant applications will be accepted from nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and governmental entities providing programs and services impacting Newaygo County youth. Proposals are reviewed by YAC members and must be submitted online by March 1, 2019.
