Description
The Opportunity Youth Grants, offered by the Columbus Foundation, are designed to support nonprofit organizations providing programs and initiatives that benefit youth—particularly those who are disconnected from education or employment. The grants aim to help young people prepare for adulthood and meaningful opportunities by addressing needs across six focus areas: civic engagement, education, health and wellness, housing, support systems, and workforce development. Rooted in local research and community collaboration, these grants seek to empower youth to achieve self-sufficiency and thrive within their communities.
