The youth board members of the Northland Foundation’s KIDS PLUS Youth In Philanthropy Program have awarded more than $8,000 in 13 grants during the fall round of grant making to support youth-driven projects across the region.
The board is made up of 15 high school students from Cloquet, Duluth, Ely, Hibbing, McGregor, Moose Lake, and Superior, Wis., and four adult mentors.
One of the 13 grant winners was the Cooperation Station Daycare in Grand Marais, which received $1,000. The money will be used to help build a playhouse that will be used by children 0-5 years of age.
Youth In Philanthropy receives key funding support from the Minnesota Power Foundation, the Northland Foundation, and others. The remaining two rounds of grants have application deadlines of January 1 and April 1, 2019.
