City of Lawrenceburg Youth Grant Program

Serving all Youth within Dearborn County

Grants will be made to not-for-profit organizations for programs that directly benefit youth between the ages of 0 and 18. Select programs, those that allow participation of a few children when other organizations are available to offer the same recreational opportunities, are not eligible to apply. Half of the total funding available is allocated for youth programs where 75% of the youth reside in the Lawrenceburg school corporation area and the other half is allocated for youth programs where 95% of the youth reside in Dearborn County. Maximum grant awards are $10,000 per organization per calendar year.

An advisory committee made up of representatives of the following organizations advises the DCF on preferences among grant applicants: Lawrenceburg Babe Ruth, Dearborn County YMCA, Community Activities, Lawrenceburg/Greendale Soccer Club, Dearborn County 4-H, Boy Scouts, Lawrenceburg Pee Wee Football, Lawrenceburg Lions Club, and Citizens Against Substance Abuse.

The Lawrenceburg Youth Grant Program does not provide grant funding for salaries, employee benefits, prizes, trophies and/or ribbons.

* Any school corporation or school sponsored organization wishing to apply for City of Lawrenceburg Youth Grant funds must first apply for funding through the school’s respective Endowment Corporation/Education Foundation. Documentation verifying the Endowment Corporation/Education Foundation’s decision must accompany the completed City of Lawrenceburg Youth Grant Program application materials.

Deadline Dates: Please see Grant application.

To be considered, grant applications must be received in the DCF office no later than noon on the deadline date(s) listed in the application.

All questions relating to available scholarship/educational grant opportunities should be directed to Jerri Worthington, DCF Program Director.
