Helping others
is within your reach!
The Young Philanthropists is an organization designed to foster philanthropy by bringing together young people in the community to learn about philanthropy and make annual grants to local nonprofits. Young Philanthropists members must be young (21-40-ish), make a contribution of $125 per year of which 75% of the donation will go into a permanent endowment fund and 25% will go into a grant making fund to award to a deserving charity or cause each year in Las Cruces or southern New Mexico.
In addition to philanthropy, participants in the Young Philanthropists will be able to build new friendships through the three social events held each year and work together for the common good of southern New Mexico.
The first social networking event* was held Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at Guacamole's, 3995 West Picacho, Las Cruces. To view photos from the event, visit our FACEBOOK page below.
