The Middletown Community Foundations Youth
Advisory Council, made up of 24 students from area high schools who visit
nonprofits throughout the school year and take applications for funding in
the spring, awarded grants to area nonprofits this spring totaling
$40,000.
Of these, $20,000 was distributed to
22 charities
through its Summertime for Kids program to support safe, structured
activities for area children and youth throughout the summer with grants
of $1,000 or less each.
The remaining $20,000 was distributed in grants to
13
charities through its Fondersmith Youth Grants program. The largest was
$4,250 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butler County for a project to
mentor the children of incarcerated parents. Other grants included $3,000 for
the psychiatric and counseling services at One Way Farm home for abused
and neglected children and $2,000 to the Great Miami Valley YMCA for
Family Fun Nights at the Downtown Y.
