Get matched →The Opportunity Youth Grants fund recreational programs benefiting youth and ensure that all young people enter adulthood prepared to pursue opportunities to live well. The initiative addresses six focus areas: Civic Engagement, Education, Health and Wellness, Housing, Support Systems, and Workforce.
In 2015, The Columbus Foundation commissioned research finding that 20,500 young people in Franklin County ages 18 to 24 (referred to as opportunity youth) were not on track to graduate and/or were disconnected from society. A cross-sector coalition was formed to create a continuum of support to reconnect these youth and facilitate pathways to success and self-sufficiency.
The Columbus Foundation seeks grant investments from Opportunity Youth coalition members and youth-serving nonprofit organizations engaged in and impacting the six focus areas of the theory of change.
