The newly-created Richmond Fund for Children and Youth seeks to support the needs of children and youth in Richmond and North Richmond by guiding grant funding to youth-serving organizations. By serving on this Oversight Board, individuals will help make a real difference in the lives of children, youth, and families in Richmond and North Richmond. Eligible applicants must be 15 years of age and older to apply.
Roles and responsibilities of the Oversight Board will include but are not limited to:
- Ensuring that meaningful engagement is conducted within the Richmond community
- Creating a strong foundation for this Oversight Board by developing policies and procedures
- Assisting in the development of a Strategic Investment Plan that would determine funding strategies and grant-making for the next three years
Eligibility requirements include but are not limited to being 15 years of age and older, being able to attend at least 6 meetings per year and serving two-year terms (members under the age of 24 may serve a one-year term).
The Richmond Fund for Children and Youth was established after the passage of Measures E & K (The Kids First Initiative) in the City of Richmond in 2018.
