The Youth POWER program provides funds to community projects that promote a positive
environment for Linn County youth.
The Youth POWER Board, a group of students from the Linn County area supported by The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation have been given $10,000 to allocate to 501(c)(3) agencies or youth led charitable projects in Linn County that would benefit from a grant. The projects we will choose to fund strive to meet the needs of our community’s youth. In choosing the recipients, we will not discriminate against age, gender, ethnic origin, religion, or lifestyle. After reviewing applications, board members will conduct interviews with applicants, and then determine the organizations that will receive funding. Priority will be given to projects that involve youth in their planning and implementation.
The following activities will not be considered for funding from the Youth Power Board: for profit activities, support of individuals, travel, political lobbying or legislative activities, events or activities that have already occurred and religious activities of religious institutions.
All applicants will be asked to attend a brief interview with the Youth Power Board. Interviews typically last no more than 15 minutes.
Students and organizations may apply for funding. Please download the guidelines and correct application below.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding Youth POWER, please contact Karla Twedt-Ball, Youth POWER program coordinator at 319.366.2862.
