Apply for a Grant

In January of 2012, The Jen Di Reeno Foundation, Inc. launched a new grant making program.  Since its founding, the Foundation’s volunteer board of directors has focused its efforts on fundraising and program development. 

The launch of the Jen Di Reeno Foundation’s grant-making program marks a new chapter in the organization’s history.  The Board of Directors unanimously approved the grant-making program in 2011, aiming to support other organizations with a similar mission in the local community, ultimately impacting the lives of more teens and young adults. 

Grants will be made to non-profit organizations whose projects assist teens and young adults who are struggling to face critical challenges, particularly those having to do with life threatening illness or death.  New and/or grassroots projects are encouraged to apply. 

The Jen Di Reeno Foundation will fund program support, small capital requests, and special projects.  The Foundation is also interested in providing funding for educational programs including lectures, speaker series, etc.  Requests up to $5,000 will be considered, although most grants will be in the $1,000 - $3,000 range.

Interested organizations should read the full RFP with detailed application guidelines and instructions here, and e-mail grants@jendireeno.org with any questions prior to application submission.
