Welcome!
The Youth GrantMakers Council (YGMC) is a youth organization focused on improving the community by providing grants for youth-led projects.
Our Achievements In The 2008-2009 School Year:

- Received twenty-one grant applications requesting more than $28,000 in funding during our two grant cycles
- Granted $7,947 to eleven youth-led projects
- Raised nearly $800 toward a challenge grant from one of our Funding Partners that will allow us to have more money to give to worthy grant applicants in our next grant cycle
- Named Joey Platt, a sophomore at Southeast of Saline, the 2009 Youth Citizenship Award recipient at the Greater Salina Community Foundation's Annual Luncheon in May
- Received twenty-six applicants for the 2009-2010 Council, the largest number of membership applications we have ever received!
