CYC Grants

 

Our objective is to use the funding we receive to make a series of grants, which will typically range from $150 - $500 to youth-driven community projects. By creating these mini-grants we hope to involve the youth in the communities of Lake Placid, Wilmington, Keene and Keene Valley to further the vision and mission of the CYC. Through you and others like you we hope to make this dream a reality and are eager to listen to your proposals.

 

Grant Duration
Beginning January 2014 –  till funds are exhausted

 

Requirements

 

• Grants will be given to youth-initiated projects, where youth must come up with the idea for the project, and complete the application with an adult acting in a strictly advisory role.  For Elementary and Middle School levels-additional adult involvement may be required.  Grants requested must be between $150 - $500, and will be utilized for the specified project.  This is a reimbursement grant and funds awarded will be reimbursed based on receipts provided.
