Anthony Costa Foundation | Youth Impact Grant

The Youth Impact Grant provides an opportunity for young people to promote causes they are passionate about and to assist organisations working on these causes to make a difference.

The Youth Impact Grant is made possible by Anthony Costa Foundation Chairperson, Rhonda Arnott who has a strong commitment to encouraging philanthropy from a young age. Each year she has the ability to make up to $10,000 in grants to charities of her choice. This year she is choosing to provide young people with a chance to nominate a charity working on a cause or issue that is important to them to receive a small grant.

Each grant is valued at $1,000 and we expect up to 7 grants to be awarded.
