Greater Cleveland YFC Receives $75,000 Grant through Chick-fil-A True Inspiration Awards
We are thrilled to share that we’ve been selected as a 2026 Chick-fil-A True Inspiration Award grant recipient, receiving a total of $75,000 from Chick-fil-A Inc. This generous grant will help us reach more teens in the Cleveland community, introducing them to Jesus at pivotal moments through our five unique areas: City Life, Deaf Teen Quest, Juvenile Justice Ministry, Campus Life Public Schools, and Campus Life Private Schools.
The True Inspiration Awards were founded in 2015 to honor the generous spirit and legacy of Chick-fil-A’s founder, S. Truett Cathy. Each year, Chick-fil-A honors and supports community organizations from across the U.S. and internationally that are making a positive impact in their communities. We are one of 56 organizations globally to be recognized for this year’s award and one of only 414 organizations recognized in the last twelve years! To date, Chick-fil-A has awarded nearly $40 million to community organizations through the True Inspiration Awards. We are extremely grateful to General Manager Rob Albert of Chick-fil-A Supply Distribution Center Cleveland for nominating us for this honor.
The 2026 True Inspiration Award grant funding will strengthen and sustain our core ministries, allowing us to deepen relationships, expand our reach, and prayerfully prepare for future growth, including the hopeful launch of Parent Life. Ultimately, this grant helps us continue living out our mission of reaching young people everywhere, working together with the local church and like-minded partners to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus.
We are so grateful to Chick-fil-A Inc. for supporting our mission to share the hope of Jesus with young people in Greater Cleveland. This generous grant allows Youth For Christ to deepen our reach, strengthen our ministries, and continue raising up lifelong followers of Jesus—meeting young people and families with the hope and love of Christ.
