Inspiring the Next Generation
Youth grantmakers from Journeys Lutheran School, Kingdom Prep Lutheran High School, and Fox Point Lutheran Church played a key role, learning how philanthropy can transform communities. Shawn, a student participant, shared, “Seeing everyone come together to give to nonprofits shows how much heart and love they have for those who serve the community. That motivates me to do the same.”
Driving Change Together
The funds raised will support 14 grantee partners in initiatives such as reentry programs and developing urban teachers. Shannon Durio of We Raise Foundation emphasized, “When everyone gives what they can, it all adds up to make a meaningful difference. Events like this remind us of our shared humanity.”
