The NBA Foundation is now accepting applications for its Spring grant cycle — and this is a major opportunity for organizations serving young people.
🎯 Who they fund:
Local & national nonprofits supporting under-resourced youth ages 14–24
💼 Focus Areas:
• School-to-career pathways
• Job readiness programs
• Skill training
• Job placement
• Career advancement opportunities
📅 Deadline: March 31
This isn’t general community funding — the NBA Foundation is laser-focused on economic mobility and real employment outcomes for youth.
Now here’s the real talk 👀
If your organization serves young people but can’t clearly connect your programming to career outcomes, workforce readiness, and measurable impact — this grant will be a tough win.
That’s exactly why preparation matters.
The Get Grant Ready Summit, hosted by Pink Print Firm (founded by @iamstormibanks), breaks down how to align your programs with funder priorities, strengthen your narrative, and avoid common denial triggers.
📅 March 9–13, 2026
💻 5-Day Virtual Experience
🎟 Tickets starting at just $5
