Developing innovative youth programs
The Foundation has announced that it is accepting applications for evaluation grants for innovative youth programs (birth to 25 years of age) to fund studies that document successful programs. Grants are designed to fund the evaluation of innovative youth programs or services with the purpose of identifying which programs and services are most effective. Grants range from $5,000 to $25,000 each. The foundation seeks to promote programs that are innovative and have a potentially replicable service concept; are offered by small or medium nonprofit organizations (operating budget of less than $5 million); promote scholastic, professional, athletic, and/or other excellence in youth; and provide youth with new opportunities for health, personal growth, and success in the greater metropolitan areas of Baltimore, Boston, Madison, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Program guidelines are available at the RMYF Web site: http://www.rmyf.org/
