The Foundation is devoting significant resources toward investments in two critical focus areas for our work in Forsyth County: Building an Inclusive Economy and Advancing Equity in Education.
The grant program overseen by YGA focuses on elevating the voices and impact of young people within Forsyth County by funding projects that are conceived and executed by youth. This initiative seeks to foster leadership skills among the young participants and create a culture of responsible and responsive philanthropy that addresses the specific needs and challenges faced by the community. Specifically, it prioritizes proposals that demonstrate a clear vision for engaging and benefiting youth, aiming to initiate positive community change through projects led by young changemakers. Grants are awarded on an annual basis to support these endeavors.
