Eligibility Criteria
Whether you’re currently a grant-seeker, a grantee, or a funder, SYPF makes things easier every step of the way thanks to a collaborative philanthropic process:

Youth-serving groups apply just once a year to access nine different potential funders, including some of Central Indiana’s largest philanthropies.
Those funders collaborate to fulfill as many requests as possible. In fact, most qualified applicants receive some level of funding.
Funders review these applications and choose which ones to support. And they can be assured their grant has made a positive impact thanks to a Final Report that each awardee prepares at the end of the season.
