Grant to Improve the Health and Well-Being of Children/Youth in Pennsylvania (USA)
GrantID: 71658
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity supports nonprofit organizations in a defined county region, with a focus on improving emotional health and social development in children and youth. The foundation seeks proposals from nonprofits designing or running programs that help young people build social and emotional skills—such as self-management, decision-making, goal setting, and relationship building.
Eligible applicants must be charitable organizations (typically nonprofit 501(c)(3)) whose proposed projects benefit children and adolescents in the county. The programs should align with the foundation’s emphasis on social and emotional learning, and applicants must demonstrate how their work supports outcomes like school completion, self-confidence, exploration of career paths, role model connection, and life/work readiness.
Grants are awarded as one-year funding cycles. Request amounts must be justified based on program scope, beneficiaries, and metrics for success. There is no guarantee of funding—applications compete annually, and prior grantees must submit fresh proposals in subsequent cycles. The foundation expects grant proposals to include the program design, goals, budget, supporting organizations/partners, measurable outcomes, and a narrative explaining alignment with its priorities.
Proposal deadlines typically fall in early October (for example, October 1). Final grant reports, aligned with original application goals and metrics, are also due in the same time frame the following year. The foundation gives priority to programs that serve children and youth in the geographic area, are inclusive (nondiscriminatory in volunteer and service provisions), and welcome a partnership mentality with funders.
Overall, this grant is intended to strengthen nonprofit efforts that support emotional and behavioral development in young people—especially in underresourced communities. The opportunity is not open to individuals or for-profit businesses; it is specifically designed for nonprofits serving children and youth in that county through evidence-informed, mission-driven programming.
Eligible applicants in Pennsylvania with a demonstrated commitment to Non-Profit Support Services are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
