The Caesar Rodney Rotary Foundation’s (CRRF) New Castle County Youth Empowerment Fund, administered by the Delaware Community Foundation (DCF), is currently accepting applications from non-profit organizations. This grant program aims to provide funding for projects that specifically benefit at-risk youth within New Castle County, Delaware. The foundation's mission, as evidenced by this fund, aligns with empowering young people to overcome challenges and achieve self-sufficiency, contributing to the overall well-being of the community. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant program are underserved youth and young adults, ranging from birth through 25 years of age, who reside in New Castle County. These individuals are identified as being at risk for not developing the necessary skills and support systems to achieve a self-sufficient future. The impact goal is to empower these at-risk youth by funding initiatives that provide them with crucial skills and support, thereby fostering their long-term independence and success. The program prioritizes non-profit organizations that are based in New Castle County and demonstrate a clear commitment to serving the identified demographic. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the overarching goal of fostering self-sufficiency, it is implied that successful projects will equip young individuals with the tools and resources needed to thrive. The "organization doubles its commitment, offering up to $5,000 per grant" indicates a strategic priority of increasing support for these critical initiatives. The CRRF and DCF's strategic priorities are clearly focused on community development through youth empowerment. Their theory of change appears to be centered on the belief that by investing in organizations that directly serve at-risk youth, they can create a positive ripple effect, leading to improved life outcomes for individuals and stronger, more resilient communities in New Castle County.
