Youthadelphia to announce 2010 application process

Youthadelphia 2010 and the Philadelphia Foundation Youth in Philanthropy program is inviting representatives of Philadelphia based youth serving organizations to attend an event announcing its new Request for Proposals on Thursday, March 11th at 5pm at 1234 Market Street, 18th floor, in Philadelphia.

The sixteen youth serving on Youthadelphia 2010 have identified the following areas for their 2010 grantmaking: Teen Risky Behavior Prevention; Community and Neighborhood Development; College Readiness and Career Readiness.

Because Youthadelphia is committed to the growth of the next generation of leaders, organizations which provide teens leadership opportunities within the identified service areas will be given priority.

Youthadelphia will distribute a total of $100,000 in grants up to $10,000, but not in excess of 10% of the organization’s budget.  Applications will be available both at the announcement event and on The Philadelphia Foundation’s website on March 11th.

Proposals will be due by April 8th at 5pm.  The application review process will include an applicant-coordinated, half-day project for 2-3 Youthadelphia members to complete with youth served by the applying organization.  These projects must take place between April 23rd and May 5th.

To register to attend the RFP announcement event, email Libby Walsh at lwalsh@philafound.org.
