Rush County Community Foundation

Created to promote youth involvement and teach philanthropy to our next generation of community leaders, the Youth in Philanthropy [YIP] Fund makes grants to youth-led service projects and youth organizations in Rush County. Any youth involved with a non-profit organization in Rush County who has a philanthropic project or service idea to benefit Rush County or Rush County residents is encouraged to apply.

· This application is to be completed by the youth and overseen by their adult leader.

· If fundraising is a part of the project, a portion of the proceeds should be returned to the YIP Fund, to further grow the endowment, which will continue to support youth-led philanthropy.

Deadline to apply: March 1* -and- October 15*
