Pay It Forward Foundation -- Pay It Forward Mini-Grants

SUMMARY: Pay It Forward Mini-Grants are designed to fund one-time-only service-oriented projects identified by youth as activities they would like to perform to benefit their school, neighborhood, or greater community. Projects must contain a "pay it forward" focus -- that is, they must be based on the concept of one person doing a favor for others, who in turn do favors for others, with the results growing exponentially -- to be considered in the grant making process.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Schools, churches, and community youth groups (with an adult sponsor) may apply for funding. Youths or adults may write the application. Groups whose members are all over the age of 18 must include work with youth under the age of 18 as part of their projects.

DUE DATE: April 15, 2008 and October 15, 2008

AWARD AMOUNT: Mini-grants of up to $500 are available for projects on a one-time-only basis.
