The Nelson County High School Youth Philanthropy Council (HS YPC) announces the availability of $15,000 in total grant funding for nonprofit organizations serving Nelson County. The funding priorities for this cycle are centered on three key areas: helping families afford essential veterinary care for their pets, promoting mental health and wellness through counseling and support programs, and encouraging physical wellness through sports and recreation activities. These grants aim to build a healthier, more connected community across the county.
Nonprofit organizations are eligible to request funding up to $5,000 per application. Grants will be awarded to initiatives that align with at least one of the three designated focus areas. The deadline for submission is April 21, 2025, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Organizations should ensure that their applications are completed and submitted by this time, as late submissions will not be considered.
Grant announcements will be made in May 2025, with funding distribution occurring in the spring of 2025. Funded organizations are expected to use the grant award to directly support programs and activities benefiting Nelson County residents in accordance with the focus areas specified. The Nelson County HS YPC is dedicated to promoting wellness, connectivity, and community development through these strategic grant investments.
