What is the Youth Philanthropy Project?
 The Youth Philanthropy Project is intended to build the leadership skills of young people as they take an active role in addressing the needs of our region. A committee of 20 high school students from all over the metro Richmond area is responsible for granting up to $50,000 a year to support community service projects that are run by youth to better their community.
The Committee is responsible for assessing the needs of their community, as perceived by their age group; reviewing and discussing grant proposals submitted by school clubs, youth groups and nonprofit organizations; and making appropriate funding decisions. In addition, the Youth Philanthropy members participate in service projects of their own choosing throughout the year.
For information about applying to the Youth Philanthropy Project, visit our Grant Guidelines.
New members are needed for the 2008-2009 school year. If you are interested in joining our committee, we would love to talk to you. Please e-mail us at youthgiveback@tcfrichmond.org. |
