Susan Landis Youth Philanthropists (SLYP) Grant
Beckley Area Foundation’s Susan Landis Youth Philanthropists program is a group of high school juniors and seniors who are engaged directly in the important role of community philanthropy. The purpose of this program is to provide an intensive hands-on learning experience through which they are taught the art, the science and business of philanthropy. Part of this experience is for them to solicit and evaluate proposals for funding. The students are responsible for making final grants recommendations subject only to the approval of the BAF Board of Directors.
SLYP is seeking proposals from eligible tax-exempt organizations which support Raleigh County youth. The submission deadline is March 31, 2023.
The maximum single grant award will be $1,000 for each organization.
