The initiative allocates $250,000 per year for two years, with priority given to smaller organizations and those with a track record of serving trans and nonbinary youth, youth of color and youth from low-income backgrounds.
Organizations that join the federation gain access to support for fundraising, public policy advocacy, training on nonprofit excellence and opportunities for collaboration with like-minded groups.
The awards went to organizations focused on areas such as promoting neighborhood development, workforce development, education, and arts and culture. There’s a particular focus on low-income communities.
