Guide to Federal Re$ources for Youth Development

Dear Community Leader:

Caring adults. Safe places. A healthy start. Effective education/
Marketable skills. Opportunities to serve.

Whether we call these the Five
Basics, the Five Promises, or the heart of the 40 developmental assets, we all
know that young people need these core resources to thrive.

We also know that you need financial resources to help children and youth
develop and achieve success. To assist your efforts for the nation’s youth,
the America’s Promise Alliance, working with Civic Enterprises, LLC, has
produced the attached Guide to Federal Resources for Youth Development.

This Guide provides communities with detailed information about more than
100 federal funding sources that help promote the five core resources needed
by young people. Each funding source in this guide has been categorized
according to the five resources, and information on the programs’ goals,
grantee eligibility, and updated contact information has been provided to
help you determine if pursuing these grant opportunities is right for you.

The federal funding process is complex; we hope this guide will help to
make it a little simpler. Together, we will do everything possible to see
that every young person in America reaches his or her full potential.
