It's Friday. Have you reached the end of the week and thought man, I should've contacted the Young Life grants department?

It's not too late …

YL Staff: Did you request a grant from a local charitable foundation? And did they say no? If they did, it can feel like the door is shut. We can show you how to go back and knock on the door again.

No YL area has just one story. We want to help you share the narratives that shape YL's place in your community with foundations that share similar goals.

@RutoMDenis2 Hey @RutoMDenis2, I just sent you a DM. Write me back and we'll get you started. Thanks!

YL Staff: the new fiscal year begins in just eight short days. We can help you engage local charitable foundations that may have an interest in funding your ministry. It takes less than 5 minutes to get started -- ask us how!

[Young Life Foundations & Corp. Relations @YoungLifeGrants]

YL Staff: Coordinating with our office can help create a smoother grant-seeking process. A common problem we encounter involves areas applying for funding from foundations already committed to other areas. We can help you avoid that pitfall.

A good story has three elements: the world is set up, upset, then reset. Keep this in mind when you share your story, or a YL kid story -- we reflect the Great Story, and we should tell it well.

YL Staff:
A good grant proposal is more than your appeal for area funding -- it's HOW you make the appeal.

We can show you how.

It takes less than five minutes to get the process going. Click the link in our profile and contact us to get started.

YL staff:
Don't let a charitable foundation's request for measurable results frighten you. We can help your area understand what it means to track results, and how to report them.

It occurs to me that, if you're going to invite people to ask you for assistance, you should probably make it easy for them connect. Check our profile to visit the YL Foundations and Corporate Relations page on Staff Resources.

NYT: 31% of Americans, and 41% of millennials, believe that 2 million or fewer Jews were killed in the Holocaust; the actual number is around 6 million. Forty-one percent of Americans, and 66 percent of millennials, cannot say what Auschwitz was. https://t.co/r4WJc77SFB

YL staff--
Approaching a charitable foundation, filling out that application, takes a lot of time. We can give you our time so you can make the most of yours.
