Legacy Youth Alliance Announces Grant Awards

The Legacy Youth Alliance closed out 2018 by funding three local nonprofit projects. The grant recipients were selected by the Legacy Youth Alliance members from Ottumwa, Cardinal, Pekin and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont high schools.  The members evaluate and score each application on their level of community impact, demonstration of collaboration or partnerships, and alignment with their funding priorities of early childhood, secondary and post-secondary education, and/or physical, mental and social health of youth. These funding priorities were chosen by members because they correlate with issues that youth face daily. The following nonprofit programs were awarded:

The Legacy Youth Alliance offers two grant funding cycles per calendar year. Any 501(c)3 Not-for-Profit that is youth-serving or supports a youth-led project may seek funding up to $2,500 through the Legacy Youth Alliance. The 2019 spring grant cycle is currently open through February 28, 2019. Applications must be submitted online and can be accessed here.
