Youth Philanthropy
In our state, teenagers aren’t just the recipients of philanthropic dollars – they are directing them. Arizona has a strong youth grantmaking presence, with over 80 youth allocating $200,000 per year in grants. Young people are creating change through philanthropy in many different ways, particularly by giving in youth-focused areas such as education, teen pregnancy, mentoring, and more. Below, find extensive lists of resources for those interested in Youth Philanthropy, as well as a summary of Arizona’s youth grantmaking programs and the excellent work they are doing. Please contact
