The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley helps philanthropists support the causes closest to their heart while connecting local residents to the resources they need for a better quality of life.
The Young Philanthropist Fund provides funding for eligible organizations in the Mahoning Valley, focusing on projects submitted through their application process. This process is overseen by The Young Philanthropist Fund Distribution Committee, which consists of members from the Mahoning Valley Young Professionals. Grants are awarded annually and are funded by the proceeds from the 25 Under 35 Awards dinner, supporting various causes and initiatives within the community that align with the fund's philanthropic goals.
