Youth in Philanthropy (YIP)
YIP will award $10,000 in total to area nonprofits that serve youth or involve youth in program delivery.
YIP is a program that The Community Foundation created almost 13 years ago to encourage high school student volunteerism and philanthropy. It engages area young people in decision-making about the distribution of grant dollars. The group consists of 40 area high school students who review the proposals from local nonprofits that address youth-based issues. The YIP members then make recommendations for funding to the foundation’s Board of Governor’s. Over the years, these young leaders have awarded well over $100,000 in grants.
YIP grant applications will be accepted online June 30 to August 8.
