In 2009, the Youth Grantmakers program was launched in Riverside to cultivate young philanthropists who will follow the traditions of giving and provide opportunities for young people to develop skills and knowledge that will raise the chances that they will commit to lifelong civic engagement, give them a stage for their voices to be heard, and make change in meaningful ways.
