ViaPath Foundation Announces 2026 Impact Grant to Empower At-Risk Communities Nationwide

The ViaPath Foundation has announced the launch of its 2026 Impact Grant and is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations across the United States that are committed to empowering at-risk communities. The Impact Grant will support programs that advance youth support, advocacy, and meaningful career pathways, helping individuals, families, and communities build brighter futures.

The 2026 Impact Grant reflects the foundation’s mission to empower at-risk communities through holistic support—from early youth engagement and family stability to education, workforce readiness, and reentry support for justice-impacted individuals and veterans. Building on its 2025 initiative, in which the foundation expanded its efforts to create greater impact by providing more resources and opportunities to those in our communities who need them most, the foundation aims to develop programs and forge new partnerships that empower at-risk youth, support incarcerated veterans, promote successful reentry, and assist families affected by the justice system.

Each year, the ViaPath Foundation partners with organizations nationwide that are leading the way in community-based support, youth development, reentry services, education, workforce training, and advocacy. The partnerships help expand access to critical resources and break cycles of poverty, trauma, and involvement in the justice system.

The foundation will award grants of up to 15,000 per organization. Each organization is subject to a total funding cap of $50,000 over a three-year period.

Eligibility:

• Nonprofit organizations and community-based programs serving at-risk communities in the United States.
• Organizations whose work aligns with the Foundation’s mission to empower at-risk communities through advocacy, youth support, and meaningful career pathways.
• Programs that serve justice-impacted individuals, returning citizens, and veterans as part of their broader community impact.
