Congratulations on joining thousands of youth and adult advisors from across the country and around the world in your efforts towards improving your community through youth philanthropy! Over the past several years, support for and recognition of youth grantmaking has grown and is larger today than at any other time. This is an exciting time to be involved with youth grantmaking and philanthropy.
This website is aimed at helping you in your philanthropic efforts. Check out the Best Practices section to learn more about efficient operating procedures for YACs and YAC members. A vast collection of Resources is also available and includes hundreds of sample documents for your use. Please feel free to download, make modifications, and use any documents that may advance your work as a grantmaker.
The site also features several Studies and Reports that outline the benefits, characteristics, and lessons learned from youth grantmaking. Additional studies and reports can also be found under the What’s a YAC? and Starting a YAC sections of the website.
A Links page is also available to help you find other organizations that may be able to assist you with your philanthropic mission. We have linked to community service, service learning, grantmaking, and youth philanthropy organizations.
