Engaging young people in philanthropic “giving” is the purpose of the Foundation’s Youth Philanthropy program. Youth Philanthropy provides high school students with an opportunity to learn about philanthropy and participate in the grant making process. Students from the Black Hills area form a group that will research school based and community needs and strengths. Through surveys, interviews and consensus, the group will develop a portfolio of grant investments that they determine will provide results measured in changed lives. Students gain experience in teamwork, community needs, running meetings, building consensus, nonprofit finance and other topics. The program culminates in year-end celebration where the group of students shares their learning and $5,000 +/- in grant investments with their schools and community.
