New grant program to invest in youth education, recreation, and culture
MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#MONAT–MONAT Gratitude, a South Florida-based nonprofit, announced Saturday that it will donate $1 million over the next year to help narrow the achievement gap in underserved communities around the world. Funds will be distributed through grants to eligible nonprofit organizations across the country to allow them to create and execute transformational projects that support and nurture youth education, recreation, and culture.
“We believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore their talents and achieve their full potential,” said Lu Urdaneta, Founder and CEO of MONAT Gratitude. “We are proud to expand our efforts through this program and hope these grants will open the door to brighter futures for thousands of talented young people around the world. We can’t wait to see what they achieve!”
MONAT Gratitude’s grants will support new and existing K-12 programs that provide arts, music, sports or entrepreneurship opportunities to help students grow into knowledgeable, well-rounded adults. This program was inspired by the organization’s mission to provide a better quality of life for children and families while advancing opportunities that foster academic achievement across the globe.
The organization awarded the first three $10,000 grants last week during MONAT Global’s annual MONATions Convention in Atlanta to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, the Atlanta Music Project, and Soccer in the Streets. MONAT Gratitude staff and volunteers performed a service project with each organization in the communities they serve.
Nonprofits can learn more and apply for a grant starting at the end of September through MONAT Gratitude’s website.
