The Comic Relief US (CRUS) Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is proud to accept applications for the third year of Juntanza Fund grantmaking to youth-led social change campaigns and programs. Juntanza means a union to help each other and achieve a common goal and originates from the practices of Afro-descendant communities in Colombia.

The deadline is Monday, December 8, 2025.
