Youth to Youth mini-grants are intended to promote and support communities in improving the well-being of Buffalo County youth.

Grants will be awarded to community residents who work together to:

• tie to 2020 strategic directions
• promote a sense of belonging to community
• outreach to youth in need
• improve communities by enhancing their strengths
• increase cooperation between different cultures and age groups

Collaborative projects will take priority over a single organization, group or agency.
Youth projects designed by youth will take priority over projects with little or no youth involvement.

Grants must be submitted 60-90 days ahead of the project. Please contact our office for deadline information, call (308)865-2284

Selection Process
Mini-grant funds are available for local projects that are initiated by community youth within Buffalo County. Mini-grants will be awarded to projects which impact youth in a positive, innovative and collaborative fashion.
The application is the first step of the selection process. It will be followed up with a site visit or phone call for further information.

What Can Grant Money Be Used For?
Youth to Youth grants may be used for the direct operation of the project, transportation, and recognition of the project participants. The majority of the grant money must be used to carry out the project. Recognition costs cannot exceed 15% of the grant award.

Who May Apply?
Youth groups, community organizations, faith, community, schools, class rooms, and other not-for-profit organizations that actively engage young people ages 5 – 21 in solving community problems are welcome to apply.
