KEEP SERVICE GOING Grants

KEEP Service GOING grants are intended to fund youth initiatives that further the mission of KEEP GOING 25 and are available to students who wish to lead the way to love and serve within their communities while demonstrating the value of showing up for others. The projects must be student-driven, action-oriented and impact the community.

We are able to fund these youth service projects because of the generous donations and support from our KG25 community.

Making an Impact

We are excited about the impact KEEP GOING 25 is making in our communities as we support student-driven, action-oriented service projects. Your support helps us fund the grants used for these service projects.

Mini Grants

KEEP Service GOING Mini Grants are for smaller project ideas generated by students that focus on love, leadership and service in their communities. Some examples are:

School Greeters: 7-8th grade students start the day by showing kindness as the younger students arrive, reminding the students that a simple “hello” can change the world. KG25 grant is used to purchase materials for the greeters.
The KEEP Kindness GOING Board: 7-8th grade students share a lesson in kindness with the younger students and help them write positive messages. These messages are attached to a board that travels from school to school. KG25 grant is used to build the board and kindness board materials.
Powerful Posters: students focus on courage, as well as, that words matter. They create positive messages to share on their lockers. KG25 grant is used to create and purchase these positive locker magnet messages.

Mission Grants

KEEP Service GOING Mission Grants are for larger scale youth projects that focus on love, leadership and service in their communities. Some examples are:

Dayton Mission Service Week: KG25 provided funds to purchase materials for a student-focused service program that immerses youth in a week of learning about social issues, area nonprofits and then provides opportunities to serve in their community throughout the year.
Building Beds, Bringing Kindness: KG25 provided funds to a student-led request to buy materials and then gather friends to build beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that hand builds and delivers ready-to-sleep-in beds for local children.
