The Wayne County Community Youth Foundation (“YF”) was established in Fall 2012 from donations to establish a Wayne County Community Youth Foundation Fund (“YF Fund”). The Youth Foundation is a part of the WCCF and shall adhere to all WCCF policies. Members of the YF shall be youth advisors, who evaluate grant requests and recommend action for approval by the WCCF Board of Trustees.
The Foundation’s charitable grant making includes both capital and program grants which are awarded in the following categories: Arts, Culture, & Humanities; Civic & Community Affairs; Conservation & Environment; Education; Health & Wellness; and Human Services.
In order to make the best use of available funds, the Foundation looks for one or more of the following when reviewing proposal requests:
Small Research Grants for the improvement of education
This grant-making trust inviting Charities to help Socially Disadvantaged Groups during COVID-19
Support available for NGOs working on social innovation, inclusiveness and sustainability
Advocacy grants to strengthen the voice of communities and grassroots activists
USD $250,000 to $2 million funding available for each selected partner to address Covid-19 impact in select countries
Funding provided through capital support for community development projects

The project is a well-planned approach to solving a problem and delivering services.
The use of funds will be efficient and effective.
Foundation support is vital or catalytic to the success of the project.
The proposed project is expected to continue after the grant ends.
Expenses will be reduced by sharing resources with other agencies or groups.
Due to the nature and size of grants available for youth funding, most YF grants will most probably be to support new initiatives or operating expenses.
The Foundation normally does not approve grants from the Youth Foundation Fund to support:
Deficit financing;
Endowment funds;
Annual appeals or membership contributions;
Conferences, field trips, travel or recognition events;
They are nonsectarian so they don’t support religious organizations for religious purposes. They do support them for non-religious programs, like hunger centers or job training or childcare.
The Youth Foundation may not award any grants for scholarships from the YF Fund.
