Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund Calls for Mini-Grant Applicants
Announcing small grant funding for projects in effective teen relationships & violence prevention, the arts, and community service.

In Lauren's spirit and memory, the Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund has launched the 2024-25 mini-grant program, which offers small grants of up to $2,000 for innovative, creative projects related to the LDAMF mission. Do you (or does your organization) have an idea for a way to promote healthy and safe teen relationships, to celebrate and further the creative or performing arts, or to encourage community service? If so, consider submitting an online grant application by January 31, 2025. The simple application process particularly values initiatives that will have a local impact and that do not already receive major backing from other sources. New applicants are especially encouraged! Funding decisions will be announced by February 15.
