New Kent & Sussex Youth Philanthropy Boards Selected

Forty Kent and Sussex County high school seniors and juniors will experience the triumphs and challenges of being philanthropists this year through the Delaware Community Foundation’s Youth Philanthropy Board (YPB).

Like their counterpart in New Castle County, the Kent and Sussex County YPBs include students from public, private and parochial schools. The DCF gives the Kent and Sussex County student boards $10,000 each to award to local charities. The students work together to choose a focus area, solicit and review grant applications, conduct site visits and decide how to distribute the money to have the greatest impact.

Grant applications will be available at delcf.org/grants in late December and due in January.

“The DCF’s Youth Philanthropy Board is one of the most fun and effective programs we run in the community,” said Bill Allan, vice president of philanthropy for Southern Delaware. “The students learn to see the needs in their communities and work hard to find ways to prioritize and address those needs. It gives the students a unique experience they would not otherwise have at this young age.”
