Support for youth opportunities

Welcome to the ACES Youth Grant Program. Use this page to request financial assistance for an eligible youth activity, educational opportunity, sports program, arts program, leadership activity, or other approved youth-development opportunity. You can also review the status of your submitted grant requests.

Eligibility and approval

Grant assistance is based on the youth participant’s eligibility, documented financial need, the purpose and benefit of the activity, required supporting documentation, board approval, and available ACES funding. Approval is not guaranteed, and funds are generally paid directly to the approved organization or provider.

Before you apply

Review the ACES Youth Grant Program guidelines before applying. Gather the program information, cost or invoice, provider payment information, and all required supporting documents. Combine supporting documents into one PDF when required.
