The Heflin Youth Foundation is seeking proposals to provide grants to worthy organizations in the community. The Foundation ables to assist other nonprofits in the mission of helping youth grows and succeed in life.
For decades, Johnny Heflin and his family supported the mission of the YMCA of Metropolitan Little Rock. Through their generosity, thousands of young people and adults had an opportunity to grow in Spirit, Mind and Body at YMCA’s in Central Arkansas, including the Johnny and Sharon Heflin Family YMCA facility in North Little Rock.
As fiduciaries of the remaining assets of the YMCA, the Board created the Heflin Youth Foundation to support other excellent programs in the area that promote health, wellness and character development in the youth.
