Popular VI Community Fund Grants 2024
This funding opportunity supports nonprofit organizations in the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands that provide educational, economic empowerment, and environmental initiatives for youth up to age 24.
The Popular VI Community Fund, in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI), is accepting grant proposals from nonprofit organizations for projects that support youth education, youth economic empowerment, and environmental initiatives in the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands. The application window is open from October 1, 2024, to October 31, 2024, with proposals due by 11:59 PM AST on the final day. The goal of these grants is to enhance programs that provide vocational training, employment support, and educational opportunities for youth up to the age of 24. Additionally, projects with environmental goals are encouraged to apply. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, churches, organizations with fiscal sponsorships, and nonprofits based in the British Virgin Islands. Importantly, the grants are intended to provide project-based support, rather than general operating funding, ensuring that each funded project is clearly defined and focused on achieving measurable outcomes. CFVI and Popular, Inc. emphasize their commitment to equitable grantmaking, seeking to ensure geographic diversity and prioritizing projects that reach underrepresented communities across the islands. The grant period covers the calendar year 2025, running from January 1 to December 31, 2025. Organizations that have already received funding from the Popular VI Community Fund are reminded that they are limited to no more than two consecutive awards. This limitation ensures that the grant opportunities are available to a broad range of organizations over time. The application process is straightforward, with a Request for Proposals (RFP) available online. Applicants should ensure that their proposals clearly align with the stated goals of the fund, particularly in areas related to youth and environmental programming. Proposals should reflect the organizations' understanding of the local context and demonstrate how their project will contribute to positive outcomes for the community.
