Karma for Cara Foundation invites applications for youth service project grants

The Karma for Cara Foundation (K4C) was established by 21-year-old Cara Becker and her family while she was being treated for leukemia. Today, the foundation provides teens inspiration and financial support to take their ideas and burgeoning projects to the next, increasingly impactful level.

The foundation invites applications for its micro-grant program, which will award grants of up to $1,000 to students 18 years of age and under to complete service projects in their communities.

To be eligible, students must be 18 years or younger, and projects must serve communities in the United States.

If applying on behalf of an entire class or student group, the foundation requests that applicants designate a maximum of three student leaders as the project’s main points of contact.

For compete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Karma for Cara website.

Deadline: January 1, 2026
