LIFE Grants

LIFE Grants are created to help organizations make a meaningful difference in the lives of LaGrange County youth. Schools seeking support for classroom or extracurricular activities must apply for funding through LIFE.

What Do We Fund?

Nonprofit organizations serving LaGrange County youth are eligible to apply for youth educational projects. Grant amounts are typically around $500 and are reviewed by the Community Foundation’s youth philanthropy program — LIFE.

Funding priorities focus on youth educational projects that:

· Help students grow — supporting their academic, social, emotional, and physical development.

· Build connections — encouraging activities that strengthen relationships among youth and within the community.

· Spark new ideas — backing creative, effective educational programs that address local needs.

· Make a lasting impact — supporting achievable projects that benefit students long term.

Who Can Apply?

Non-profit organizations, government agencies, and public schools are all eligible to apply for grants from LIFE in support of specific charitable programs and projects that serve youth. LIFE grants cannot be used for political programming or religious instruction or worship.
