PeyBack Foundation Accepting Grant Applications for Programs Serving At-Risk Children

Established by Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, the PeyBack Foundation is a nonprofit organization which makes grants every year to programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for at-risk children in the Denver metro area, Indiana, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The foundation has distributed more than $4.3 million in grants since 2002, including $500,000 in May 2012 to eighty-eight youth based organizations.

The foundation focuses on economically disadvantaged children and youth. Emphasis is placed on programs that have a direct benefit to children through relationships and activities. Programs designed to enrich the lives of disadvantaged youth through activities conducted outside the typical school day (i.e., afterschool and summer programming) are particularly favored.

Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations serving economically disadvantaged children between the ages of 6 and 18 in the Denver metro area, Indiana, Louisiana, and Tennessee.

Grants are limited to a maximum of $15,000; most grants funded will be around $10,000. The foundation prefers not to be the only financial resource for a program. Applications demonstrating collaborative efforts with partnering organizations will be given priority. Funding is provided to support program-specific expenses, not an organization's general administrative expenses.

Complete program guidelines, the application form, and an FAQ are available at the PeyBack Foundation Web site.
