Deadline: 3-May-21
The Wild Rivers Community Foundation and Humboldt Area Foundation is inviting proposals for the Summer Youth Mini Grants Program to support programs that expand and enrich summer recreation programs for Del Norte and Curry County children.
The summer youth program grants are normally made for expenses such as sports and recreational equipment, arts and craft supplies, field trips and scholarships for low-income participants.
The spirit of this grant is to inspire and support all of the activities that make summer programs in the communities a success. They seek to enhance what is already been accomplished prior to this grant. Programs must meet the guidelines and restrictions provided by the California or Oregon Department of Health to prevent the spread of Covid -19. Travel outside of the region for summer activities and summer camps will not be funded.
