Micro Grants Project
We know that our Long Island youth and teens can directly impact the community in positive ways. We want to give them the opportunity to change the world by believing in their ability to take action, use their leadership skills, and empower them to create sustainable social impact projects in our local Long Island community.
Inspire Together will provide grants UP TO $1000 through funding from local businesses for community projects led by youth ages 5 to 19 years old with a supervising adult. This is an opportunity for students at local schools, clubs, organized youth groups, neighborhood groups, and student-led organizations to use their creativity, leadership skills, empathy and sense of community to INSPIRE TOGETHER and make Long Island a better place for all.
