Welcome to Youth in Philanthropy Canada

Young people who care about their communities are increasingly getting involved in philanthropy. Anybody can be a philanthropist, why not us?

By forming youth advisory committees (YACs) within our local community foundations, we come together to raise money, build endowment funds and make grants to local youth projects. We are in our teens and twenties, we have a lot of ideas and energy to bring to the table, and we want to make a difference – today and well into the future.

We are already making a difference in more than 55 communities across Canada, and the momentum is building. Come and find out more about why youth philanthropy is here to stay.
