Grant Opportunity: Research has found that quality extracurricular activities can positively affect the the transition between middle and high school as well as lifelong academic trajectory of students. The New York Life Foundation's Aim High Grant Program provides support for afterschool and summer programs that prepare middle-school students for the critical transition into high school. Awards are available as one or two-year grants. One-year grants will support programs' efforts to promote social and racial equity. Two-year grants will support programs' direct service activities, technical assistance, and capacity building efforts to serve youth.

 

Eligibility: Nonprofit 501c(3) organizations that serve 6th, 7th, or 8th graders with a majority of these youths coming from low-income households are eligible to apply.
