What is Youth Engaged in Philanthropy (YEP)?

Youth Engaged in Philanthropy—a youth-led initiative under the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation—is a group of 15-20 high school students from Dewitt, Livingston, Logan and McLean Counties with a $10,000 philanthropic budget to allocate grant funds to local youth-focused initiatives. In 2015, YEP established an endowment fund to sustain the organization in the future. Since 2014, Youth Engaged in Philanthropy has awarded nearly $120,000.
