Like its counterparts in Kent Castle and Sussex County, the New Castle County YPB includes students from public, private and parochial schools. The DCF gives the New Castle County students $15,000 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 November and due in January.
“The DCF sponsors the Youth Philanthropy Boards every year to engage Delaware’s future philanthropists and nonprofit leaders,” said David W. Fleming, DCF Senior Vice President for Philanthropic Services. “The students see the needs in their communities and work hard to find ways to prioritize and address those needs. It makes a tremendous impact on the students.”
