Hope Venture Grants
Many of you have already teamed up with friends to do something
to help the people affected by Hurricane Katrina. If you're
trying to get a relief or fundraising organization off the
ground, we can get you started.
MTV and Youth Venture are offering
Hope Venture Grants of up to
$1,000 to support young people who want to launch a venture - an
organization, club, or business - that will aid those affected
by Hurricane Katrina.
First priority will be given to
proposals that support the
creation of sustainable ventures
that aid the citizens and communities who have lost so much from
this disaster. A second priority will be proposals to
start organizations solely for the
purpose of raising and distributing funds
for those in need.
Hope Venture Grants will be offered every week for the next six
months to groups of two
or more young people (ages 13-20)
with the most compelling venture ideas to assist the people and
communities affected. Applications for one-time projects will
not be considered.

Official Rules
