The Homeless Youth Capacity Building Project’s Financial Assistance Program is designed to support capacity building activities that further the long-term viability of organizations that serve homeless youth. Successful applicants for financial assistance will be Network Members that request support for funding activities in five technical assistance areas: organizational development, program development, collaboration and community engagement, leadership development and evaluation of effectiveness. The financial assistance grant is not designed to support the provision of direct services, fundraising, medical services or construction activities.
Please note that the financial assistance grant application is not yet available. You must first apply to become part of the Network to be eligible to apply for financial assistance. The financial assistance application will be made available on April 1, 2009. Learn more about the Network. |
