MONAT Gratitude announced that it is accepting applications for the second cycle of its transformational grants program. Eligible nonprofits in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia can apply for grants ranging from $5,000-$20,000 to support new and existing initiatives in youth arts and culture, youth sports and recreation, and youth entrepreneurship around the world. These grants are part of MONAT Gratitude���s $1 million pledge to close education achievement gaps in underserved communities around the world.
We recognize that children all over the world are experiencing achievement gaps in different areas of their education, and we are committed to partnering with local organizations to support their community-focused programs. We received an incredible number of applications during our first cycle, and are excited to invite even more organizations to apply now.”
Lu Urdaneta, Founder and CEO of MONAT Gratitude
The 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 MONAT Gratitude’s mission to provide a better quality of life for children and families, while advancing opportunities that foster academic achievement for youth across the globe.
Last month, MONAT Gratitude awarded a grand total of more than $220,000 to 19 deserving nonprofits in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia, based on the various organizations’ dedicated philanthropic initiatives and their commitment to improving local communities from within.
To be eligible for grant support, U.S.-based nonprofit organizations must currently be recognized by the IRS as a public charity or equivalent. The grant program is also open to international nonprofits in select countries in which MONAT Global operates.
