About youth services grants

Youth services grants fund organizations that provide direct support to young people, including counseling, mentoring, juvenile justice diversion, workforce readiness, and basic-needs services. Federal funding comes largely through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and other agencies, while foundations such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the William T. Grant Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation invest in youth-serving systems and research. Community foundations and corporate funders support local service delivery.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow youth services grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Of 257 grants listed, 6 accept applications on a rolling basis, 9 have a published upcoming deadline, 47 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 195 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site.

What grants are available for youth services?

Grants support a wide range of services including mentoring, gang and delinquency prevention, substance-use and mental-health treatment for youth, truancy reduction, and workforce development. OJJDP funds many of these areas at the federal level, and national foundations fund both direct service and systems-improvement work. Award sizes range from small community grants to large multi-year federal awards.

Who funds youth services organizations?

Major funders include OJJDP and other federal agencies, plus foundations such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the William T. Grant Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Local community foundations, United Way chapters, and corporate giving programs are frequently the best fit for smaller, community-based youth-service providers.

How do youth-services nonprofits find the right grants?

Start by matching your services to funder priorities, such as juvenile justice, mental health, or youth development, and confirm geographic eligibility. Most foundation grants require 501(c)(3) status or a fiscal sponsor; federal grants are posted on Grants.gov. Searching a grant database by cause area and population served helps narrow opportunities that fund your specific service model.
