The HYLF Board of Trustees possesses the sole authority to make grants. No member of the HYLF Board of Trustees who is also a member of an applicant’s governing board or who is directly involved in a proposed project as an administrator, staff member, or direct beneficiary may participate in voting on the applicant’s proposal.

If you have any questions about the application, please email hylf@hylf.org
