Do Something and American Express Offer 9/11 Remembrance Grants for Youth-Led Community Projects
Deadline: September 1, 2011
To commemorate the tenth anniversary of September 11th, Do Something and American Express are teaming up to offer grants to young people who wish to take action and start commemorative projects in their own communities.
The program seeks projects that have been started or are being planned in the spirit of September 11th including youth-led projects that recognize and commemorate emergency responders (EMTs, police and fire departments) and military troops, as well as programs that promote diversity and understanding across cultures. These can be ongoing projects or projects specifically planned around the tenth anniversary of September 11th. Grant winners will be announced on September 11, 2011, as part of the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
To be eligible, applicants must be age 25 or under and be a U.S. or Canadian citizen.
The program will award ten grants of $1,000 and ten grants of $500.
Visit the Do Something Web site for complete program guidelines and application procedures.
