The fund supports up to 20 projects annually for up to 10 years. Projects should improve relationships among diverse groups, facilitate online connections for isolated communities, empower community influence, amplify children’s and young people’s voices, and involve youth in community improvement efforts.
Funding covers various costs, including staff, development, transport, utilities, volunteer expenses, equipment, and language services.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
