YouthWorks Foundation

Process

Eligibility		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 the YouthWorks Foundation.
Letter of Interest		If your project appears to be a good fit for the YouthWorks Foundation, you may then fill out the Letter of Interest Form and provide an accompanying Cover Letter. 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.
Grant Application		Once a completed Grant Application has been received, the Staff and Trustees will review the information.
Site Visit		A representative of the 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 the YouthWorks Foundation to go over the specifics of the application and, if needed, to request any additional information from you.
Decision		After the Site Visit, a report will be given at a subsequent Trustee Meeting and the application will be voted on.
Grant Acceptance Form		If your Grant Application is approved, you will be sent a Grant Acceptance Form that must be completed. This will outline the accountability and any conditions of the grant.
Payment		Once the Grant Acceptance Form has been signed and returned, a check will be mailed to your organization. Please allow up to 30 days to receive the funds from the time we receive your completed Grant Acceptance Form.
Grant Report Form		A Grant Report Form is required to be completed and returned to the YouthWorks Foundation after project completion or within twelve months of receiving the grant—whichever comes first.
Deadlines		Currently there are no deadlines. Please allow up to six months for process completion.
