Deadline: June 15, 2022
The grant-making component of the NYFF is pivotal in bridging the gap for underfunded youth activists and youth focused organizations in order to strengthen the effectiveness and impact of their work. This is quite important given that there is still a huge gap between funds available for young people and the amount of funds actually managed by them. In its first grant cycle, the NYFF will provide small(<$8500), medium (<20,000) and large grants (<$50,000) to individuals and organizations serving different youth-focused communities or causes.
