Youth-led grants from the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley for programs and projects that serve or benefit children and youth ages 0-22. Youth-driven projects are prioritized, and teen YEP members review and award the grants. Nonprofit agencies in the foundation's service area should apply; schools are not eligible.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

Playgrounds are not named, but projects that benefit children and youth are eligible, and past YEP awards went to capital grant requests. A grant could pay for part of a playground, such as shade, benches or one play piece. Only nonprofits may apply; schools and educational foundations cannot.

Eligible activities are programs and projects that are serving and/or benefit children and youth ages 0-22.

The following agencies have either been awarded full or partial funding for the capital grant requests listed below their names.
