Timeline

Students utilize these proposals to learn about the elements of philanthropy. The process of being selected to receive a YIPEE grant takes a full academic year. Should students select your proposal for potential funding consideration, you will be asked to give a brief presentation to provide further information about your organization and its request. The email signing up for presentations will go out in October. Presentations will be on November 3 and December 8 in the afternoon. Final funding decisions will be announced in May, and grants will be mailed by GTCF in July.
