The Northland Foundation’s Youth in Philanthropy Board awards $4,360 in grants



Minnesota Children’s Press in Grand Marais will receive $360 as part of Northland Foundation’s Youth in Philanthropy awards. Minnesota Children’s Press will use the funds to support the creation of virus traps that can be shared with the community.

The Northland Foundation is pleased to announce that eight grants were recently awarded by the young people serving on the KIDS PLUS Youth In Philanthropy Board. The Board is made up of middle school and high school students from across Northeast Minnesota who review and make grantmaking decisions with guidance from volunteer adult mentors. The grants that the students award, up to $1000 each, support school and community projects planned and developed by children and youth in the region.

The Board meets three times during the school year: October, January, and April. The next deadline to submit a Youth in Philanthropy grant application for spring and summer project funding is April 1, 2022. To apply:northlandfdn.org/grants/apply-report.php.
