The Northland Foundation and the young people serving on its Youth In Philanthropy Board awarded 13 grants totaling $10,603 in their fall funding round to projects within the geographic area that the foundation serves.
Grant recipients include the Northeast Range School and Ely Community Resource. Northeast Range School will receive $1,000 to provide opportunities for students to engage in robotic STEM-related design and prototyping.
Ely Community Resource will receive $958 to support youth to build a rack for kayaks and canoes that community members can use.
Middle and high school students appointed to serve on the Youth In Philanthropy Board make real-world grantmaking decisions with guidance from volunteer adult mentors. This year’s board includes students from Aitkin, Barnum, Cherry, Cloquet, Duluth, Hermantown, Superior, and Two Harbors.
Grants range up to $1000 each for school and community projects within northeast Minnesota communities or the border community of Superior, Wisconsin. Children and youth must complete the grant application and carry out the project with the support of an adult adviser. There are three grant rounds per year: October, January, and April. The next application deadline is January 1, 2025.
