Jostens Foundation

Jostens (the high school ring people) provides Community Grants in support of communities, healthy families and children.

The focus is on youth and education and programs that help young people become healthy, productive adults - to the tune of $500,000 a year. Programs with a focus on early intervention, improving literacy or high school graduation rates, or preparing students for post-secondary study are examples of activities that advance the Foundation's mission.


The Foundation has quarterly deadlines, the next closest being November 21, 2012.

The online application procedure seems straightforward and aligned with that of other, larger grants I've seen. Since it is based in MN, it requires applicants to use the Minnesota Common Grant form. Nfp's are eligible. There is a 'history of the organization' component, descriptions of the purpose of the grant and how it will be evaluated, and financial information.
