Regional Resource Hub Grant

One grant will be provided to an eligible entity to serve as a regional resource hub. This regional hub will support the NNM Youth Fund grantee cohort with building regional and local capacity by supporting them with program implementation, collaboration and shared learning and securing public funding. The regional hub will organize and regularly convene the grantee cohort and support them with two or more of the following activities:

 

• Provide technical assistance to support grantees in implementing programs effectively, navigating wraparound supports, and telling impactful stories with both quantitative and qualitative data, emphasizing core outcomes and ensuring the evaluation reflects the depth and context of their work.

• Develop specialized resources, toolkits and tools;

• Provide grant coaches or mentors to offer personal, tailored support to organizations through the grant process;

• Connect grantees to existing services and resources like application materials, matching grant opportunities and grant research provided by federal agencies or state offices; and / or

• Help grantees identify experienced service providers (i.e., grant writers, grant managers, legal and accounting experts) to help them secure philanthropic, state, and federal funding.
