Developing Future Leaders Through The Fund For Children
Abstract
The Philadelphia Foundation places a high value on cultivating the youth voice in both word and in deed. It is no secret that too many youth in Philadelphia struggle with the stresses of poverty, violence and self-worth. The Fund for Children (FFC) of The Philadelphia Foundation (TPF) supports opportunities for youth to be their own catalysts for change.
In response to a funding gap for youth-led programs, the FFC puts its focus on nonprofits that allow the young people who are being served to guide and shape the design of programs for youth. The FFC’s three programs include Strategic Investment in Youth (which supports activities for older youth, including community service projects, job readiness and life skills training), the Supporting Grants Program (which provides small grants for short-term needs of nonprofits serving youth), and YOUTHadelphia, a youth philanthropy program.
