4-H Grants and Scholarships – Week of October 18th

Another week has gone by and it’s time for another round of new 4-H grants that you can all apply for. Remember that there are hundreds of grants in your local and/or regional areas that we are not listing here. Since our audience is on a national level, we try and feature only national level grants – although sometimes we will announce regional grants as well.

But there are tons of grants all over the country that you can apply for right now! Just hop onto your favorite search engine and see what you can find.

Get those applications submitted and good luck to everyone!

 

2010 4-H National Mentoring Program

It’s almost time to apply for the 4-H National Mentoring Program Grants. The Request for Application should be posted on the 4-H Grants Portal by the first week of November. If you and your group want to help out at-risk or high-risk children in your community, then this is definitely the way to do it. Your efforts will not only help the kids now, but your collected data will help at-risk children for many years to come! This is a very significant program for those who are fully dedicated to helping the youth in their community. Don’t wait on this one. Get all the details right here – 4-H National Mentoring Program

JCPenney Afterschool Mini Grants

Yep, it’s JCPenney in our grants list again. Way to go JCP! This time, they are offering 500 grants totaling $250,000 to county-based 4-H programs looking to help out with afterschool programs in their community. A lot of kids sadly just don’t have access to afterschool programs and some that do, will soon be forced to stop attending them due to lack of funding. This grant is aimed at putting a stop to that. For more information, visit the official 4-H page here – JCPenney Minigrants – and get involved today!

 

That’s it for now guys and gals. Again, make sure to check back next week for another list of exciting and educational grant opportunities. If you know of a grant opportunity that we haven’t featured here, please tell us about it in the comment field below!
