A grant is…

A sum of money given by an organization, esp. a government, for a particular purpose.

What is a grant?


What is it?

A fund that uses earned interest to provide grants for Key Clubs and Key Clubbers to help finance their community service projects.

Youth Opportunities Fund


Where is it?


50 cents, so what?!

50 cents from the $11 membership fee is given to the YOF.

But it is not all used for the fund.

Your 50 cents goes into a parent account. The interest from that account goes into a service account. 4% of the Service account is used for YOF
