Youth Microgrant Program
Karma for Cara is a non-profit founded by 21-year-old Cara Becker and her family while she was undergoing treatment for leukemia at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Cara and her two brothers began volunteering at a young age as part of their family’s commitment to community service.
Karma for Cara’s mission consists of three goals: supporting youth engagement and service, recognizing unsung heroes in service and reducing the suffering of cancer patients and their families. As part of their efforts to support youth volunteerism, they started a microgrant program, encouraging kids 18 and under to apply for funds to complete service projects in their communities.
Tell them about your project, and they’ll help you get started. Microgrants will range from $250 to $1,000 and be distributed as gift cards to home goods stores, office supply stores, grocery food chains and toy stores.
