Economic Opportunity Grants

The Economic Opportunity Grants program is a funding initiative from Youthprise that supports nonprofit organizations in Minnesota working to expand economic prosperity for youth through entrepreneurship, ownership, and career pathways. The program funds organizations creating pathways for opportunity youth — those disconnected from education and employment.

Nonprofits with operating budgets over $750,000 may request up to $75,000, while smaller organizations may request up to $50,000. Youthprise's Opportunity Reboot initiative mobilizes public and private resources to sustain and scale this work across the state.

Economic Opportunity - Youthprise Advancing Ownership & Wealth: Economic Opportunity We create opportunities for economic prosperity by increasing youth ownership and wealth as they define it. We promote youth entrepreneurship and ownership and increasing access to “thrivable” career pathways.

Opportunity Reboot mobilizes public and private resources to sustain and grow the work of organizations creating career pathways for opportunity youth , youth who are disconnected from education and employment. Addressing longstanding youth inequities requires multi-faceted work among dynamic organizations and young leaders. We are forging bold relationships in a new network of leaders to build collective power.
