Empowering Youth to Be Philanthropists

Giving is good! We know that giving feels great, and serving others has so many benefits. Youth can enhance their education with fun, hands-on service learning, and gain important skills through a program that engages both mind and heart.

We believe youth have time, talent, and treasure to support our communities, and our mission is to teach them how! We provide your group of 5th-12th graders with $1,000, and they work together to select a local nonprofit to receive the funding, engaging youth in community needs and solutions.

Meet a Magnified Giving Young Philanthropist!

Julie Corbett - Mount Notre Dame High School

“Through Magnified Giving, I have found a passion for serving others. Service brings me joy because I know I am making a positive impact on the people around me. It has taught me to be the person I am today by serving what I am passionate about rather than out of obligation. It has taught me not only to be a better person but also a better leader.”

Julie and her groupmates volunteered with Chemo Unity to pack bags to give to local hospitals for patients with cancer. Julie and her group advocated for Chemo Unity to receive their program’s $1,000 Magnified Giving grant, and ultimately their classmates voted to award funding to Chemo Unity!
