Culture of Giving Junior Philanthropy Coordinator

The Culture of Giving Movement is The Community Foundation’s initiative to connect residents of Boulder County with the work, needs, and philanthropic opportunities of the county’s non-profit organizations. The ultimate goal of The Culture of Giving Movement is to increase giving (money or time) in the county and to truly identify Boulder County as a place possessing a philanthropic culture. www.cultureofgiving.org

The youth-focused arm of The Culture of Giving Movement is the Junior Philanthropy Program—consisting of both the Middle/High School Art Contest and a new program still in development. Junior Philanthropy strives to engage, educate, and support youth in being active and giving members of their community. The Community Foundation’s Director of Advancement oversees the Culture of Giving Movement, including the Junior Philanthropy Program. Philanthropiece is the title sponsor of the Junior Philanthropy Program and a hands-on partner in the program’s development and implementation. The Junior Philanthropy Coordinator will be a consultant for Philanthropiece, but supervised by The Community Foundation’s Director of Advancement.
