United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA), in partnership with Baptist Community Ministries (BCM), announces the Summer Impact Grant opportunity to expand and deepen services for children and youth ages 11-24 in New Orleans over the summer of 2022.
Donor Name: United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA)
State: Louisiana
City: New Orleans
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 05/19/2022
Details:
UWSELA and BCM will allocate funds to youth-serving organizations to broaden supports which may include but are not limited to reduced program cost to families, behavioral health supports, expanded summer nutrition/meals, expanded hours or duration of programming, and connecting youth with an educational, vocational, and/or employment setting when summer programming ends. Successful implementation will help close the achievement gap, improve health outcomes, reduce crime, and scale programs in locations where they’re needed most.
A project may focus on a wide variety of youth issues or may be very narrowly focused. Nevertheless, proposed programs must align with one of the six priority areas of focus and lift up at least one solution for New Orleans Youth Master Plan:
Priority will be given to organizations serving youth of color ages 11 to 24 below the ALICE Threshold.
If funded, staff will be invited to participate in at least two trainings conducted by New Orleans Youth Alliance:
- Basic Skills,
- Trauma-Informed,
- Reframing Conflict,
- Healing Justice, or
- Building Community.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposals must be submitted by public or charitable, nonprofit (tax-exempt) organizations or may be sponsored by such an organization (fiscal agent).
- Collaborations are welcome to apply; however, a lead 501(c)(3) organization must be identified and provide nonprofit documentation and an eligible budget for the collaboration.
- All participating organizations or sponsoring organizations must operate within Orleans Parish.
