Youth Funds

Youth Funds are ideal for those children and teens that are interested in making a positive impact in the world. The International Community Foundations offers youth the ability to establish their own donor advised fund or to establish a sub fund for the benefit of one of The Foundation's existing friends of funds or field of interest funds.

Examples of successful youth funds at the International Community Foundation include:

• The Youth International Philanthropy Council Fund established by Morgan Hicks, a student of Bishops School in La Jolla
• Teens Against Cervical Cancer Fund established by Caitlin Hird, a high school student at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, Ca
• San Ignacio Project Bus undertaken by Akash Patel and Ian Corbett, Pacific Ridge School, Carlsbad, Ca.
