Youth Villages Receives $42 Million Grant

Youth Villages, a Memphis, Tenn.-based national organization that provides a wide array of services to children and families in 11 states and Washington, D.C., will receive the largest grant in the organization’s history, and one of the largest ever awarded to a social services organization.

The Day Foundation has announced it will donate a $42 million legacy challenge grant that primarily will be used to expand the organization’s transitional living (TL) program, which helps older foster children become successful adults.
