Positive Youth Development Fund

Positive Youth Development (PYD) funding through the Community Foundation Alliance of Calhoun County is for the overall purpose of ensuring the success of our youth in Calhoun County as outlined in A Blueprint for Positive Youth Development in Calhoun County. (A copy will be available upon request.)

Proposals that impact youth ages 5 through 18 within Calhoun County will be considered for funding. Proposals should serve primarily Calhoun County residents but may cross counties.

Organizations applying for Positive Youth Development funds are highly encouraged to establish a youth committee to assist in creating your project proposals. Proposals should include a calendar or chart of events for your project duration. This information should illustrate and also include estimated number of youth and age group being served during these times and what days and hours youth are being served in your program.

Programs should demonstrate the ability to track the number of newly served youth by their programs.

Proposals should address sustainability. Describe how program will be modified if you receive partial funding.

Collaboration with other organizations is highly encouraged.
