This grant opportunity, offered by the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) in partnership with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, provides funding to nonprofit organizations serving the US Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands. The program targets projects that benefit low to moderate income communities, with a focus on youth education (including academic improvement and financial education), youth economic empowerment (vocational training and employment support), and community-based environmental initiatives.
