iMentor Grants

iMentor is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for potential iMentor Interactive (iMi) member organizations. Through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, iMentor has received funding to provide financial support to organizations that may not otherwise be able to afford iMi’s user fees. The purpose of the grant is to help improve graduation rates through mentoring by providing technical assistance to small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations serving high-school students. Grant recipients will receive up to $6,000 in funding for iMi user fees (approximately 200 mentor/mentee users) for one (1) year, with the potential for grants to be renewed for up to three (3) years.

This RFP represents iMentor’s ongoing commitment to providing organizations with the tools they need to run effective mentoring programs and to continue efforts to close the youth mentoring gap in this country.
