College Service Grants

The Allstate Foundation 2024-2025 College Service Grants

In support of The Allstate Foundation‘s youth empowerment strategy, the Center for Expanding Leadership & Opportunity (CELO) has partnered with them to (re)define youth service for a new generation and empower youth to serve and improve communities. In continuation of this partnership, we are excited to announce the 2024-2025 College Service Grants. The Allstate Foundation has granted more than $1 million toward this program to date.

Funded initiatives must fall into one of the following categories:

  • Microgrants: Directly provided to students for new, youth-led service initiatives.
  • Access Support: Initiatives that increase student access to service experiences.
  • Increasing Impact: Initiatives that enhance the depth of impact of existing youth-led service activities.

Institutions are required to apply by September 27, 2024 for consideration.

“Receiving this grant has been a catalyst for broadening interpretations of service and leadership for our students, including community service, leadership, engagement, and extracurricular opportunities. By participating in this grant, we have been able to operationalize a robust, youth-led, service-oriented collegiate experience that supports student success in college and beyond.”
