On February 22nd, the Teen Grantmaking Council (TGC) held it's annual interview event where TGC members engaged with youth grantseekers representing 12 different organizations. TGC members had the opportunity to hear from youth leads who submitted a proposal to TGC members and learn more about their projects which focused youth development and education, food security and sustainability, and/or race and immigrant/refugee status. Later that afternoon, the TGC awarded $20,000 in grants determined through thoughtful discussion and (mostly) consensus-based decision making. This day was a powerful reminder that grantmaking can be leveraged as a tool for change making as the TGC strives to give young people the power to change our community. Stay tuned for the 2025 Teen Grantmaking Council Grantees! #tgcgso #teengrantmakingcouncil #cfgg #community #gso #greensboro #nonprofits #grants #communityfoundation
