Grant

Coverage of Youth-Related Issues on NPR

Support for NPR’s news coverage of youth.

Funding will provide National Public Radio (NPR) with support for two years to ensure that NPR is able to sustain and deepen their reporting on youth issues. With a focus congruent with the William T. Grant Foundation’s program aims, NPR’s coverage of youth considers the issues facing young people in terms of the contexts in which they live—families, schools, neighborhoods, and society.
