First Focus Launches Future in Focus Initiative

The Future in Focus initiative seeks to take advantage of the upcoming political debates and elections by injecting the needs of children and young adults into the conversation. Participating student organizations will raise awareness of federal and state specific problems that affect children, and the potential solutions. First Focus is offering college student organizations a special opportunity to receive up to $2,000 to fund activities aimed at bringing attention to children’s issues during the fall elections. Highly motivated, innovative collegiate student organizations or groups are encouraged to su bmit proposals for funding to participate in the Future in Focus initiative. These student organizations or groups can either be a formal organization affiliated with a university and or the surrounding community, or a less formal group or club with college student members/participants. Proposals to participate must be received by First Focus no later than 5:00pm Eastern Daylight Time on September 12, 2008. Applications submitted earlier will be given advanced consideration.
