Welcome, Students!

“Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth.” – Archimedes

Have you ever had the feeling you were destined to do something great,
you just didn’t know where to start? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

At Young Philanthropists Foundation (YPF), we believe the answer to
solving our community problems can be found in you, the young leaders
who are willing to step forward and bring creative solutions to even the
toughest challenges. Our programs are designed to give you the tools
and experience you need to put your ideas into action.

Penny Harvest

Our flagship program, Penny Harvest, runs in your school and combines
fundraising, grantmaking and service. Since Penny Harvest started here
in 2007, Colorado students have collected and given away
more than $100,000 to local and global charities. Want to be part of the action?

Impact Factory

This leadership program brings 15 local students together from schools across Denver.
Over the course of nine months you will learn the basics of becoming a great leader,
engage in issues facing our community, and be in charge of planning a service project for
Global Youth Service Day.

Service Days

Ever been told you’re too young to volunteer? Well, to that we say a big WHATEVER!
Gather some friends and join us for one of our four Service Days
throughout the year and experience how good it feels
to give back. Click here for the next Service Day.
