College Service Grants

The Allstate Foundation 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 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.
