Philanthropy Kids is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and inspiring philanthropy in youth through unique education programs and social entrepreneurship experiences. For over a decade, we've worked with kids across the world to help them help their communities.
The mission of Philanthropy Kids is to celebrate and inspire philanthropy in youth.
Philanthropy Kids heavily relies on North Texas Giving Day donations to provide the funding that allows us to reach as many kids and amplify their philanthropic spirits.
Our education programs, anchored by our flagship PAVE program, teach kids about giving back in ways that connect their personal interests and strengths to community needs. Participants graduate from our programs with improved confidence, higher grades, and a lifelong spirit of service.
Our innovation programs, anchored by the Impact Factory, provide an environment for young adults to practice charitable action by developing projects to support existing nonprofits, creating their own organizations, or offering their skills pro bono to local causes.
At Philanthropy Kids, we define philanthropy as the love of humankind. That includes treating every member of the global community with compassion and respect. It also means that organizations and individuals should actively work towards more just and equitable society.
As an organization that aims to advocate for social justice and racial equity Philanthropy Kids employs the following principles to drive our operational and programmatic practices:
-We are committed to ensure that every policy enacted aligns with the values of equity and justice.
-We recognize the implicit biases of leadership as individual persons and collectively as an institution and will establish checks on those biases in all decision-making environments.
-We celebrate the differences of our staff, our volunteers, and our program participants and realize that diversity in thought breeds more complete and more inclusive opportunities and initiatives.
-We will design protocols that allow all communities to join our mission and work to remove practices and policies that discriminate or provide barrier to access.
-We will utilize data and analytics to identify areas of success and areas of weakness with how we serve different demographics (e.g. race, gender, sex, socioeconomic status, disability status, etc.)
