Apply for the FFC Youth Leadership Micro-Grants

Anyone participating in the Children of Abraham Peace Essay Contest is encouraged to design their response to Part II of the essay question in order to apply for a Youth Leadership Micro-grant. The micro-grants, in the amount of $1,000, provide initial funding to get students' projects off the ground. Micro-grant winners may then choose to raise an additional $1,000 on their own, which will make them eligible for a matching grant of $1,000. This system allows students to obtain up to $3,000 for their projects.

If you are a student participating in the Children of Abraham Peace Essay Contest, you may use the application form on this page to apply for your initial Youth Leadership Micro-grant. At the end of your project or before applying for a matching grant, you must complete and submit the reporting form, also available on this page.

If you have been awarded a Youth Leadership Micro-grant and have raised $1,000 on your own to qualify for a matching grant, you must complete a reporting form for the first part of your project and an application form for the matching grant. At the end of the second phase of your project, funded by the matching grant, you must submit a final reporting form.
