Youth Giving Project
We believe that by teaching children to give, you can change the world. That’s why we partnered with Foundant Technologies in 2015 to launch the Youth Giving Project. The project introduces young people to the needs that exist in their communities and engages them to find solutions. Students form a leadership committee, research and visit local nonprofits, learn about local needs, and distribute grants. So far, more than $85,000 has been awarded to local nonprofits through the program.
This year’s program is sponsored by Andrea and Michael Manship, as well as the Doll Family Foundation. Thank you for your generous support!
Fall 2023
During this year’s session - generously sponsored by Michael and Andrea Manship and the Doll Family Foundation - students prioritized mental health and animal welfare, recognizing the pressing needs in our community. The students had to make difficult decisions with over $95,000 in grant requests from 40 nonprofits and only $10,000 to distribute. After strategically evaluating all the applications, the group awarded grants to Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation, Community Health Partners, Help Center Inc., Suffer Out Loud, and Heart of the Valley.
“Montana has the highest suicide rates in the US, so we need to put mental health as more of a priority. If I can help fund that help that our community desperately needs, I know I am genuinely doing good.”

“I love being a member of Youth Giving Project because it has not only exposed me to the world of philanthropy, but allowed me to form my own opinions and advocate for them! It has impacted my understanding of the importance of being an active member of my community.”
Thank You to Our Partner, Foundant Technologies!
