Grants for Nonprofits That Help Youth Are Offered

VyStar Foundation is now accepting grant requests for its youth initiative. Funding priority will be given to nonprofit organizations that support youth by creating access to nutritious meals and stable housing; building workforce experience, skills and education that lead to long-term career pathways; or providing learning environments that encourage creativity and positive development.

The foundation will consider youth grant requests up to $20,000 and will fund a total of $200,000. The board of directors may vary funding amounts and the number of awards depending on the quality and number of applications received.

VyStar Foundation grant application information sessions will be held virtually in August and September:

• Monday, August 28 - 3-5 p.m.
• Thursday, August 31 – 9-11 a.m.
