At-Risk Youth Programs in Indiana, Louisiana, and Tennessee
Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations serving economically disadvantaged children between the ages of 6 and 18 in Indiana, Tennessee, and the New Orleans metropolitan area.
The PeyBack Foundation is a nonprofit organization established by Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning to assist programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for at-risk children in Indiana, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The foundation has distributed more than $4.3 million in grants since 2002, including a total of $800,000 in 2011 to one hundred forty-seven youth-based organizations.
The foundation focuses primarily on economically disadvantaged youth. Emphasis is placed on programs that have a direct benefit to children through relationships and activities. Programs that are intended to enrich the lives of disadvantaged youth through activities conducted outside the typical school day (i.e., after-school and summer programming) are particularly favored. Funding will only be provided to support program-specific expenses, not an organization's general administrative expenses.
Applications demonstrating collaborative efforts with partnering organizations will be given priority.
