Empower Coös Youth Grants Program

Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation

The Empower Coös Youth Grants Program supports programs in Coös County, NH and Essex County, VT and surrounding communities in both states that focus on supporting environmental initiatives that involve youth; increasing extracurricular activities for youth; strengthening community engagement, and addressing gaps in need. This grant program awards support of up to $10,000 to eligible organizations.

The Tillotson Fund’s Empower Coös Youth Grants program is designed, implemented and led by our student committee members. Organizations that benefit Coös and Essex County and all surrounding communities in New Hampshire and Vermont are encouraged to apply for funding. Organizations must be recognized as a 501(c)3, municipality, school or place of worship for non-religious, non-denominated and inclusive programming to be eligible for an award.

The ECY program supports specific projects, operating expenses, planning, evaluation and technical assistance.  Grant requests can be up to $10,000 although preference will be given to those applications requesting up to $5,000.
