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 priority health goals
-promote a sense of belonging to community
-outreach to youth in need
-improve communities by enhancing 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.
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 of phone call for further information.
Mini-grants can range from $50 to $1,000. Applications will be received throughout the year.
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 cost cannot exceed 15% of the grant award.
Youth groups, community organizations, faith, community, schools, class rooms and other not-for-profit organizations that actively engage young people ages 5-12 in solving community problems are welcome to apply.
We want to make the application as easy as possible for you. Please contact us if you would like to discuss your ideas or would like help in completing the application form. 308-865-2284 or info@bcchp.org.
