GRANTS FOR YOUNG LEADERS

Fairbanks, we are opening up another round of funding for our Young Leaders! Our grant application is now open *exclusively to children and teens in the Fairbanks North Star Borough! With an incredibly generous donation from Spin For A Cause, Our 2 Cents Fairbanks will be awarding Fairbanks children $2,000 each to complete a community project of their own! Spin For A Cause, F&H Fitness and Our 2 Cents feel passionately about empowering our local youth to get excited about leadership, service, and community - and we can't wait to work with 5 young Fairbanksans to help them improve our community!

The Grants For Young Leaders Program is open to children 5 years old - 17 years old who reside in the FNSB.

HUGE thanks to Spin For A Cause 2023 and our good friends at F&H Fitness for sponsoring this round of Young Leaders Funding!

How Grants For Young Leaders Will Work!

 

Step 1 - Submit your grant application(below!), explaining how you would like to spend your $2,000 dollar grant and why your project is important to you and to Fairbanks.

Step 2 - If your grant application is approved, you will be invited to participate in an online orientation with local Fairbanks leaders to talk about leadership and service!

Step 3 - Then we'll get to work! Spin For A Cause's wonderful donation will start each child's fundraising project at $2,000! Our 2 Cents Fairbanks will help each child to raise additional funds.

Step 4 - Our 2 Cents will facilitate the purchase of any materials/goods/services etc. and help to deliver + document the project's successful completion!

  • ***Note To Parents: Each grant's $2,000 funds will be used to purchase goods, products or services - for example if your child wants to fight hunger in Fairbanks, instead of delivering a $2,000 check to our local food bank, Our 2 Cents would help your child to shop for and deliver $2,000 worth of food. While all of our local nonprofits greatly need and appreciate cash donations, one purpose of this project is to actively engage youth and teens in service.
