What's in a YPI Grant?
For every $5,000 grant awarded to charity through the YPI process:

An excellent local charity uses the entire $5,000 to meet immediate community needs
An entire grade level of secondary school students completes a multi-award-winning educational experience that builds their skills, character, empathy, and confidence


Dozens of local charities receive critical public advocacy and awareness, and are connected directly to engaged and motivated young people
Over 1,000 additional community members learn about local social issues and social services from participating students


YPI stewards program quality, evaluates all impacts made, and reports to all stakeholders
