4. SHINE youth led arts microgrants – apply by November 26
Let your artistic talents shine bright this winter. Apply for a Crime Prevention Ottawa (CPO) youth arts microgrant to help bring your ideas to life. For inspiration check out the highlight reel from last year’s grants!
CPO created the SHINE Youth Arts Microgrant to support youth (ages 12 to 25) during the pandemic through creative expression. The project objectives are:
Promoting messages of positive identity formation, safety, anti-racism, building community.
Building community safety and healthy youth development through youth empowerment and community arts.
Supporting grassroots community-based activities. The focus is on positive and pro-social self-identity through creative expressions and arts.
Positively engaging youth within priority groups
Successful youth applicants will receive between $500-$1000 to fund their initiative (lead applicant must be 18 or older). Successful community organizations applying on behalf of a group of youth will receive between $1000-$5000 to fund their initiative.
Check out the CPO website for more information including the program guidelines and application form.
