Supporting Tomorrow's Leaders

Imagine a future where our community’s youth are not only equipped to lead but are actively shaping the world around them with compassion, vision, and purpose. By supporting the Youth Philanthropy Council (YPC) endowment, you’re not just backing a program—you’re nurturing the dreams and potential of young people in White County. Today, thanks to a remarkable 6:1 match, your gift can go even further in empowering our youth to become the caring, community-minded leaders of tomorrow.

Supporting the YPC endowment means more than just funding a program—it’s an investment in the next generation of leaders, community advocates, and change-makers. The YPC empowers high school students to identify needs in their schools, develop and promote grant applications, and make impactful grant decisions that directly benefit their peers and teachers. By participating in this hands-on philanthropy, our youth gain valuable skills in leadership, community service, and financial stewardship, all while cultivating a lifelong culture of giving.

Through YPC classroom grants, they’re enhancing learning environments, meeting specific needs in schools, and providing additional support to educators who are dedicated to nurturing the potential of every student. These projects benefit not only today’s students but set a foundation for a stronger, more resilient community.

Originally funded by a Wabash Heartland Innovation Network grant, the YPC has flourished, but as those funds phase out, the creation of a permanent endowment is critical. This endowment will ensure the program continues to serve White County for generations to come, supporting young leaders in perpetuity.

Now is the perfect time to make a meaningful difference, with every dollar matched sixfold. Support our youth, strengthen our community, and invest in the future of White County by contributing to the YPC endowment today! Donate online at www.cfwhitecounty.org, or reach out to Director Lucy Dold to learn more about their mission. (574) 583-6911
