Pay It Forward Foundation -- Pay It Forward Mini-Grants
Application Deadlines: Application deadlines are January 15, April 15, and October 15 of each year.
Description: Pay It Forward Mini-Grants are designed to fund one-time-only service-oriented projects identified by youth as activities they would like to perform to benefit their school, neighborhood, or greater community. Projects must contain a "pay it forward" focus -- that is, they must be based on the concept of one person doing a favor for others, who in turn do favors for others, with the results growing exponentially -- to be considered in the grant-making process.
Funding Amount: Mini-grants of up to $500 are available for projects on a one-time-only basis.
Who May Apply: Schools, churches, and community youth groups (with an adult sponsor) may apply for funding. Youths or adults may write the application. Groups whose members are all over the age of 18 must include work with youth under the age of 18 as part of their projects.
