We teamed up with the National Center for Family Philanthropy to develop the following complimentary cases, both written and video, highlighting specific program elements and giving advice from foundations who have participated in Youth Philanthropy Connect. These cases and videos can be used for board or youth discussions, like an’a la carte’ menu for developing your youth or next gen board, or to simply inspire you about how smart young philanthropically minded youth can be!

phish: A Program of the Dekko Foundation
Located in: Kendallville, Indiana
History of Youth Engagement: The idea for Youth Pods started in the 1990s, when a staff member went to a family philanthropy conference and learned about youth philanthropy initiatives. With no Dekko family members at the right age, the Dekko Foundation looked to the Michigan Community Foundation Youth Advisory Council model to develop youth philanthropy in the communities it serves. They partnered with the local community foundation as the fiscal agent and schools to recruit students and help run the program. The first of what they call “Youth Pods” was started in 1994 in Noble County, Indiana. There are now 13 Youth Pods in four states.

Greater Worcester Community Foundation
Located in: Worcester, Massachusetts
History of Youth Engagement: As a way to support the voice of youth in the community and engage donors, the Great Worcester Community Foundation adopted the Youth for Community Involvement (YCI) Program in 1999.

The foundation set up a youth endowment to support the program and contracts with a youth development consultant to run the program. In the past, youth have helped fundraise for this endowment.

Located in: New York, New York, with family geographically dispersed
History of Youth Engagement: The Surdna Foundation is one of the oldest and largest family foundations in the United States. In addition to the Surdna Foundation, the Andrus family founded four other charitable institutions. Early on, the family established a tradition of board service that enabled trustees appointed to the Surdna board to sit on the boards of the family’s other charitable institutions. In 1998, the fourth-generation trustees of the Surdna Foundation began thinking about how to include more family members in philanthropic work. They wanted to create a way to encourage participation by members from different branches of the family to participate, so in February 2000, they inaugurated the Andrus Family Philanthropy Program (AFPP).

History of Youth Engagement: In 2001, The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta launched the Center for Family Philanthropy.

There are approximately 200 donor members of the Center. This next gen case study describes their history of youth initiatives, and current youth engagement strategies used by the foundation to connect with youth in the communities they serve.

Located in: Philadelphia, PA
History of Youth Engagement: YOUTHadelphia is a unique youth philanthropy model, with a defined focus on mentoring among the cohort of youth, centered around the fact that newer youth are mentored by returning youth committee members. Meeting in a board room can feel quite corporate, so each cohort sets a youth-friendly time and environment, and holds a dedicated group session on race and class issues, before starting the grant process. This has encouraged thoughtful conversations among youth across many backgrounds!
