About this grant
The program goal is to support the involvement of youth in community philanthropy. To this end, the Foundation Center will build an online portal that will document, analyze, and promote effective youth grantmaking. The grantee will engage a committee of advisors to contribute to the portal’s navigational framework and knowledge management principles; develop a youth grantmaking map with filters and drill-down capabilities; and acquire and curate qualitative data, literature, and other new content about youth grantmaking. The portal will be launched in the spring of 2016 through a targeted e-mail and social media marketing campaign, presentations at conferences, and Webinars. After its launch, the grantee will conduct focused international outreach to expand the portal to youth grantmaking globally. Established in 1956, the Foundation Center is dedicated to fostering public understanding of the foundation field by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and disseminating information on foundations, corporate giving, and related subjects.
