Global Grants for Young  Men at Risk
November 16, 2007 

Groups that work with boys and men ages 15-25 may apply for grants from a new 
 worldwide funding initiative sponsored by the _Robert Wood Johnson 
Foundation_ (http://www.rwjf.org/)  and _Ashoka's Changemakers_ 
(http://www.changemakers.net/) . 
The Young Men at Risk: Transforming the Power of a Generation project is  
intended to identify innovative approaches to helping young men fulfill their  
potential and become healthy, successful adults, in part by reducing health  d
isparities and improving the health of disadvantaged populations. 
Twelve finalists and three winners will be selected; the winners will receive 
 $5,000 awards. Select groups in the U.S. also will be invited to submit  
applications for up to $1 million in grants to support the most promising  
innovations. 
Application deadline is Jan. 16, 2008. For full details, see the 
_Changemakers_ (http://www.changemakers.net/)  website (URL  above).

"The people  of Connecticut, and history, will judge us by whether we 
accepted our  stewardship simply to preserve the comfortable status quo or whether we 
seized  it with boldness of purpose. I, for one, am emboldened." Governor M. 
Jodi Rell,  CT State of the State message, 2005
