I have considered starting a summer extension of a program targeted at community-based kids. I am wondering if anyone knows of any national organizations that supply possible funding for these types of endeavors.
Re: Starting a program
This article mentions a foundation:

Listen to NPR for the foundations that support them and don’t be afraid to look locally too. “I need money for my program, I want to help my community” isn’t going to be specific enough, do a search with keywords. What is a community based kid anyway? Don’t all kids live in a community of some kind?
