Grant Amounts and Duration
The Fresno Regional Foundation will be granting approximately $100,000 in the Youth Grant Cycle. Grant amounts range is $1,000 to $25,000. Of this amount, $10,000 will be earmarked specifically for charter school petition development. For additional information, please see the Youth Addendum on page 14.
Special Considerations
Due to donor-imposed restrictions, $20,000 is earmarked for those organizations whose offices are located within the City of Fresno. Programs and projects that are outside the City of Fresno will be considered as long as the main office is located within the City of Fresno.
The Foundation will be granting $10,000 for grant applications that demonstrate greatest capacity in the areas of charter school programmatic innovation directed at low income communities and communities of color. Grant funding for charter school innovation will be awarded in two phases, in the amount of $5,000.
