Community Giving Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of the Youth Action Board Alumni Association Fund, created to invest in the next generation of youth leaders and ensure lasting, meaningful impact across the region.
The fund was created through a desire to build a giving legacy that extends beyond today’s programs and supports young people for years to come. Its purpose is to provide charitable grants to assist the For the Cause’s Youth Action Board Alumni Association in expanding its mission—supporting the community with a specific focus on empowering and nurturing youth. Through these grants, the fund ensures the group’s work continues to have a sustained and far-reaching impact across the region.
The Youth Action Board Alumni Association Fund is designed to serve as a bridge connecting young people to the resources they need to thrive both professionally and socially. For youth leaders, the fund will provide opportunities for growth, leadership development, and long-term sustainability. For alumni and the broader community, it strengthens a network of support that encourages continued engagement, mentorship, and shared responsibility.
“Community giving means connection—it’s about creating a sense of belonging and shared purpose while empowering the next generation through guidance, support, and opportunity,” said Kaite Caladie, YAB Alumni Association officer. “When we invest in one another, everyone benefits, and our community grows stronger.”
The Alumni Association partnered with Community Giving Foundation because of its deep commitment to community-centered work and its thoughtful, collaborative approach. Throughout the process, the Foundation provided guidance and support that helped bring the group’s vision to life in a way that aligns with both its mission and the needs of the community.
