Innovative Youth Program Evaluation Grants

Ruddie Memorial Youth Foundation Accepting Applications for Innovative Youth Program Evaluation Grants
Deadline: July 27, 2011
The Ruddie Memorial Youth Foundation is accepting applications for evaluation grants from nonprofit organizations with innovative youth programs (birth to 25 years of age) in the greater metropolitan areas of Baltimore, Boston, Madison, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
Grants are designed to fund the evaluation of innovative youth programs or services with the purpose of identifying which are most effective. As the purpose of these grants is to identify effective innovations in the field, RMYF will not fund the evaluation of programs that are not innovative; applicants that use traditional approaches to serving youth are asked to seek funding from sources that fund such approaches. In addition to learning about the effectiveness of their approach, grant recipients are expected to use evaluation results to improve their services and possibly replicate the program.
The foundation funds programs that are offered by small or medium nonprofit organizations (operating budget of less than $5 million); promote scholastic, professional, athletic, and/or other excellence in youth; and provide youth with new opportunities for health, personal growth, and success.
Grants will range from $5,000 to $25,000. Successful applicants will become eligible for dissemination and replication grants from the foundation.
Complete program guidelines and application instructions are available at the RMYF Web site.
