Supporting & Venture Fund Grants

Supporting Grants

To assist youth-serving grantees become more effective in their work, the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation makes a limited number of targeted grants to intermediary organizations that provide specialized training and expertise in the areas of evaluation and performance tracking; strategy development and refinement; talent recruitment, retention and development; communications; board strengthening; and fundraising. More information can be found in the section Extra-Financial Supports.


Venture Fund

The Foundation also makes a very limited number of grants through its Venture Fund to support projects or make investments in organizations that fall outside its current Youth Development strategy, but help advance its overall mission. The Foundation also uses Venture Fund grants to advance areas that are essential to the long-term quality and effectiveness of its work, such as evaluation, communications and philanthropy.

Note: The Foundation does not accept unsolicited applications for supporting grants or for the Venture Fund.
