YOUTHadelphia funding for youth-led projects
Posted by on October 22, 2004
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUTH AND ADULTS WORKING WITH YOUTH!
Do you have an idea for a project that will help improve the condition of the youth in Philadelphia but lack the resources to make your idea reality?
YOUTHadelphia can help!
What is YOUTHadelphia?
YOUTHadelphia is the Youth Advisory Committee of the Fund for Children at The Philadelphia Foundation. The mission of YOUTHadelphia is to give Philadelphia teens opportunities to build youth power by being in control of giving back to their communities through funding youth-led projects.
YOUTHadelphia and You!
Since YOUTHadelphia?s ability to build youth power is dependent on the funding of youth-led projects, we need your help in order to make our mission possible. In the end, the Philadelphia youth community benefits from our actions. In order to get the cycle started and your idea off the ground, fill out the enclosed grant application. If your ideas complement our focus and mission we may be able to fund your project!
Attached are application guidelines for YOUTHadelphia. YOUTHadelphia accepts requests at anytime (see guidelines for more explanation).
