SYPI GRANT

---

The Strengthening Youth Programs in Indiana grant initiative through the Lilly Endowment will support youth programs throughout the state to expand or enhance programming, implement capacity-building projects, and improve facilities and equipment through capital funds. Community-based organizations and other youth programs can apply for $60,000-$1 million. The full RFP can be found here. 

I am joining forces with Thrive Nonprofit Solutions to provide various services related to the SYPI Initiative. Our team pulls from a combined 45 years of experience in program planning, strategic planning, leadership development, and evaluating nonprofit and government services of all sizes and focus areas. Both have extensive experience working with youth programs, including out-of-school-time, school counseling, social-emotional learning, college and career preparedness, juvenile justice, and libraries. Additionally, we have consulted on many projects funded through the Lilly Endowment. 

Applications for the SYPI grant are due on May 1. We strongly encourage interested organizations to plan the proposal now, as it will be highly competitive. Contact me today at info@roberthoke.com to discuss how we can help you plan or implement your initiative.
