Since 2004, we’ve made more than $6 million in grants to support young people’s civic engagement, and the arts. Since 2010, we’ve awarded more than $1 million to young people and organizations working to build the leadership, power and voice of community college students. Our average grant size is $40,000. We award grants on an annual basis, but prefer to work with our grantee partners over a longer period of time.
