Philanthropiece Foundation, Inc. [1] is proud to sponsor The Community Foundation’s Culture of Giving Junior Philanthropy Program. We believe that everyone is capable of making a positive difference in the world. Financial resources are critical, but real change begins when people take the time to get involved. Our community’s youth population will play an important role in this process when they recognize that their participation can make a difference. Philanthropiece encourages youth philanthropy and, in partnership with The Community Foundation’s Culture of Giving Junior Philanthropy Program, hopes that youth who learn the importance of community involvement at an early age will see that their actions make a difference and will grow to be involved citizens in the global community. These responsive youth give us hope for our future.

Philanthropiece is excited to be involved in the early stage of this program. We look forward to a time when all Boulder County students have an opportunity to participate.

Originally formed in 1997 as The Wild Oats Community Foundation, Philanthropiece is a 501 (c)(3) private operating foundation. Its goals are to understand and address underserved needs in the global community. It works in partnership with other non-profits to address locally defined issues in a variety of areas, including health, education, economic opportunity, the environment, and women’s and children’s issues.
