The Michigan Community Foundations’ Youth Project (MCFYP) is a statewide program to build community foundation capacity, to establish youth as philanthropists, and to build permanent and growing funds within each community to meet local youth needs. MCFYP supports youth as existing resources and decision-makers in communities and establishes important statewide ties to service, volunteerism, philanthropy and service learning. This is being accomplished through challenge grants, technical assistance, leadership training, scholarships and minigrants to Michigan community foundations and their youth advisory committees. The Project’s website shares useful information for establishing and operating youth philanthropy programs.
