Scanning the Landscape of Youth Philanthropy: Observations and Recommendations for Strengthening a Growing Field

Jen Bokoff & Amanda Dillon, Foundation Center (now Candid), with Youth Philanthropy Connect · 2014 · Evidence review

Scan of youth grant-making, meaning young people making grants through established institutions. It found over 110 youth philanthropy programmes at non-profits, some 200 foundations with a youth board or committee, and close to 900 grants made between 2001 and 2013. It finds no single model and many programmes working in isolation, and recommends wider access for young people, one public home for resources and data, and more in-person gatherings. Mostly about the United States.
