The Pay it Forward Foundation offers minigrants (from $50 to $500) to fund service-oriented projects designed by youth to support their school, neighborhood, or greater community. Projects must contain a “pay it forward” focus -- that is, 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 -- to be eligible. Applications are invited from youth leaders, school staff, and youth-group representatives.

Applications will be scored based on:

• adherence to the Pay It Forward concept
• educational benefit to students / teachers
• integration of proposed project with school curriculum
• number of people impacted

Application deadlines are January 15, April 15 and October 15.
