2019 Youth Philanthropy Grants
Celebrating its fourteenth year, the Youth Philanthropy Committee fosters civic responsibility, provides experiences of leadership and philanthropy, and inspires youth-led community initiatives. Committee members financially support the program, participate in service projects and fundraisers, fulfill a leadership role in the Committee’s work, and work together as a team to promote and award grants for youth-led service projects. Since its inception the Youth Philanthropy Committee has awarded more than $47,000 to local youth-led projects.
