Last week was the kickoff of our 19th Annual Youth Philanthropy Council! This program allows seniors from area high schools to learn about responsible grantmaking, our local nonprofits, and the urgent needs those nonprofits serve.

Thank you to Wells Fargo Advisors for supporting this program, to Central Virginia Community College for hosting our meetings, and for our excellent Advisory Committee for guiding students through this process.
