DCF New Castle County Youth Philanthropy Board

Grants Available from DCF’s New Castle County Youth Philanthropy Board

$15,000 available for New Castle County nonprofits

New Castle County nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for grants from the Delaware Community Foundation (DCF) Youth Philanthropy Board (YPB).

The YPB will consider applications for programs that advance equity and opportunity for at-risk youth with special consideration given to programs providing financial literacy, life skill training with a trauma informed approach, or addressing the challenges of recidivism.

Grant requests must be submitted at delcf.org/grants by 5 p.m. on Dec. 20. Applicants will be notified in April 2019.

The DCF sponsors the YPBs to encourage younger generations to become more involved in philanthropy. Each board, composed of high school students from public, private and parochial schools, is allotted a pool of money to give as charitable grants. The students learn about philanthropy and effective grant-making, study youth issues in their neighborhoods and schools, solicit grant proposals, and award grants to those they determine to be most deserving.

Retired Delaware educator Phyllis Wynn established the Youth Philanthropy Fund in 1999 because she wanted to encourage youth to become more involved in philanthropic ventures. Students who serve on the YPB are nominated by their principal or guidance counselor.

“The Youth Philanthropy Board program gives students an opportunity to enjoy the pleasure and the challenges of charitable giving, including determining how to make the greatest impact on quality of life with the limited resources available,” said DCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay. “It’s an important program because we are cultivating the philanthropists of tomorrow.”
