$250 Mini-Grants Available - Deadline: 4 p.m. September 19, 2011

GenerationOn Make Your Mark Week (formerly Kids Care Week) is celebrated during the third week of October, this year October 16-22, 2011. The week inspires and mobilizes kids to use their energy, ingenuity and compassion to "make their mark on the world" through hands-on service to help others in their local and global communities. During the week, young people focus on issues that matter most to them by doing small acts or service projects that add up to making a big difference. Make Your Mark Week ends on Make a Difference Day, the largest national day of service.

Thanks to our founding partner, Hasbro, generationOn will award 200 mini-grants in the amount of $250 each to support service projects that enable youth to "make their mark" on one of the following issues: Animals, the Environment, Homelessness, Hunger and Literacy. We're looking for projects that engage youth (ages 5 - 18) to make a positive impact on the Make Your Mark Week issues in local and global communities. For more information and a grant application go to
