All prospective applicants must carefully review the Foundation’s Vision/Purpose/Values and Grant-Making Priorities and determine if their particular request would match the goals and objectives of YouthWorks Foundation.

If your project appears to be a good fit for YouthWorks Foundation, you may then fill out the Letter of Interest Form and provide an accompanying Cover Letter that describes your organization and the proposed project. Proposals will only be considered when they are submitted on our Letter of Interest Form. The Letter of Interest is then reviewed by the Staff and Trustees. If it is approved, you will then be contacted and given approval to submit a completed Grant Application.

A representative of YouthWorks Foundation will then be assigned to do a Site Visit, either meeting with you in person or over the phone. This is a chance for YouthWorks Foundation to go over the specifics of the application and, if needed, to request any additional information from you.

After the Site Visit, a report will be given at a subsequent Trustee Meeting and the application will be voted on.

If your Grant Application is approved for funding, you will be sent a Grant Acceptance Form that must be completed. This covenant will outline the accountability and any special circumstances of the grant.
