Teen Grantmaking Council
GIVING YOUNG PEOPLE THE POWER TO CHANGE OUR COMMUNITY
Teen Grantmaking Council (TGC) members will have the chance to connect with other students from across greater Greensboro, discuss issues impacting teens in our community, learn about philanthropy, and engage in participatory grantmaking by making decisions about which youth-led projects in the community will receive grant funding.
Investing in the Next Generation
In addition to providing financial support to youth-led projects, the Teen Grantmaking Council teaches our next generation of leaders about the value of philanthropy and grantmaking processes.
Teen Grantmaking Council members reach out to youth in the community to encourage them to plan a project and apply for grant funding. They review the proposed project ideas from youth-led groups, decide as a group which projects will receive money, and follow up with groups that were funded.
