Applications for the first round of Pay It Forward Mini-Grants are currently being accepted. The Pay It Forward Foundation provides these mini-grants to support one-time-only service-oriented projects identified by youth that are meant to benefit their schools, neighborhoods, or greater communities. In order to be considered, applicants must demonstrate that their projects contain a “pay it forward” focus; they must be based on the concept of one person doing a favor for others, who in turn do favors for others, with the results growing exponentially. Mini-grants of up to $500 will be awarded.
