GRow1000 Financial Donors

As we plan for another summer of prosperity where our GRowers can earn a competitive wage, learn skills foundational for success, and serve as a premier youth talent pool for employers; your financial contribution is critical. Consider supporting the GRow1000 Summer Youth Employment Program in the following ways:

• Donate any amount to defray program costs and/or wages. Program costs include bus passes, a mentoring program component, and the facilitation of professional development workshops for youth and worksites.
• Sponsor youth placed at a local nonprofit that can provide a job opportunity but cannot afford to cover wages. The cost per youth placement is $1,600.
• Checks can be made payable to the City of Grand Rapids, Attn: Our Community’s Children, 245 State Street SE; Grand Rapids, MI 49503. To make a donation by credit card via the City of Grand Rapids’ payment system, please contact Shannon L. Harris, Executive Director, at 616.456.3558 or sharris@grcity.us and indicate the amount of the donation and a link will be sent to initiate your transaction.
