2024 YPP Awards $24,500 to 6 Local Nonprofits

This year’s class of Young Philanthropists, led by Co-Presidents Isabel Cavanaugh and Ethan Schubert, spent the year diving deep into three areas of need: education, food insecurity, and the enviroment. They heard from guest speakers and nonprofit leaders who broke down complicated issues and talked about possible solutions. In order to vet applications and help make decisions about funding, they visited nonprofit organizations to see their work first-hand. Funds were raised by approaching friends and family and painting faces at the Holiday House Tour. They also received a matching grant generously provided by an NCCF donor. The funds they raised, totally $24,500 were distributed among 6 organizations:

Community Resources for Justice / Family ReEntry

Mercy Learning Centers

New Covenant Center

Human Services Council

Domestic Violence Crisis Center

Children in Placement

NCCF is thankful for the dedication and commitment of these high schoolers and proud of the impact they have made in supporting those in need in our community. We look forward to working with a new class of philanthropist in 2025 which will be the 17th year of the Young Philanthropist Program. See below how you can be involved in YPP!
