Deadline: 1-Jan-22
The Karma for Cara Foundation (K4C) has announced Microgrant Program to complete service projects in their communities throughout the United States.
Karma for Cara is committed to equal employment and volunteer opportunity without regard to age, ancestry, disability, national or ethnic origin, race, religious belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, political belief, or veteran status.
Funding Information
- Students 18 years of age and under may apply for funds between $250 and $1,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- As a youth-led program, the main applicant for this project must be age 18 or younger. Teachers, advisors, or other adults who are involved in this project should list their information in the next section.
Guidelines
- If you are applying on behalf of an entire class or student group, please designate a maximum of three student leaders to be the main points of contact for the project.
- They realize additional students may be involved, but having clear points of contact will make communication much easier.
- Include numbers as best as you can. They want to know how many students will be involved in executing your project, how many people will benefit from your project, etc. Please note that more isn’t necessarily better. The numbers simply help them better understand the scope of your project.
- While they understand the need for purchasing items to donate to others, your microgrant project should involve more than just purchasing items and donating them. Are you transforming the items you purchase into something else that can be used in a variety of ways? Are you bringing students together to pack/organize/make something out of what you purchase?
- It is the intent that the grants fund the nuts & bolts of projects so they do not fund stipends, facility rentals, or transportation costs.
- They notify applicants of decisions within six (6) weeks of each microgrant deadline.
