The Karma for Cara Foundation seeks to support young people in their efforts to contribute to society and help repair the world through volunteerism and community service.
The foundation's microgrant program provides youth ages 18 and under with grants between $250 and $1,000 to complete service projects in their communities. Examples of funded projects include turning a vacant lot into a community garden, rebuilding a school playground, helping senior citizens get their homes ready for winter, etc.
While cities cannot apply for grants, youth can apply for funds to do a city or community project. Applications are reviewed quarterly, and the upcoming application deadline is Oct. 1, 2022. Application guidelines and the online application form are available on the foundation's website.
The Kentucky League of Cities serves as the united voice of cities by supporting community innovation, effective leadership and quality governance.
