Youth Opportunities Fund

Facts: Due: October 15th How much: $200-2000 Is there one formula to get it?: The best way to earn the grant is to show dedication to the project and show thorough planning through the application Past ideas: Buy books to give children after reading it to them, cabinets for a food pantry, garden supplies, etc. Please encourage your clubs to apply for this either this year or next year! It is a huge way Key Club International gives back to the clubs!
