Students Love Grantmaking
Bexley High School students in the Foundation’s Youth Philanthropy Program, funded by our Charlene Morgan Emerging Leaders Endowment, spent this past fall learning from Columbus area nonprofit leaders. They used that knowledge to make a total of $5,000 in grant awards to support needs identified by staff and students within the high school.
