Grant Overview
Youth Grantmaking Circles: Cultivating Philanthropic Mindsets Among Teens
The Youth Grantmaking Circles initiative empowers high school students to learn about philanthropy and develop financial literacy through the grantmaking process. This funding supports projects that engage youth directly in evaluating and funding local non-profits. Notably, it does not support traditional educational programs that do not include direct involvement in grantmaking activities or those that do not focus on community needs.
In practice, high school students might review applications from local non-profits seeking funding for community-driven projects, enabling them to understand the criteria for social impact while allocating funds. A project may involve a group of students conducting workshops on social needs assessment, leading to informed grant decisions that address pressing community issues such as food insecurity or lack of youth services.
Organizations eligible for this funding should be those that can provide a structured environment for youth to learn and practice grantmaking skills. Programs that do not facilitate direct youth participation or lack a focus on community-driven financial support may be ineligible. The initiative emphasizes empowering students to become active contributors to societal solutions through meaningful engagement with local needs.
To align with the funding's objectives, organizations must demonstrate the capacity to track and assess student engagement and their understanding of philanthropy. Successful proposals will outline clear metrics for evaluating the impact of youth grantmaking on the community and the development of students’ skills. Failure to establish these outcomes may lead to project disqualification, as the emphasis is on measurable growth in both community benefit and student learning.
