The St. Louis Mental Health Board Offers Grants Toward City Youth Programs
The St. Louis Mental Health Board is offering five hundred dollar ($500.00) mini-grants to organizations with an annual budget of less than $100,000 that have established youth programs. Eligible programs must have youth members who reside in the City of St. Louis, and have a current 501(c)3 status.
The purpose of the mini-grant is to promote positive youth development and to encourage young people to get involved with their community. The grants are funded by the Community Children's Services Fund, which promotes positive child and youth development in the City of St. Louis through coordinated services and programs. The goal of the Mini Grant program is to encourage and facilitate youth leadership by engaging them in community service projects. Youth must be fully involved in the planning and implementation of the project. The Community Service Project must address a particular need or issue and benefit a neighborhood or community within the city limits. The deadline for mini grant proposals is 5:00 pm on April 15, 2008, with the implementation phase from May-August 2008.
