High School Giving Circle Application
The Community Foundation of Northern Nevada invites you to apply for a spot on our 2025 High School Giving Circle (HSGC). We are seeking up to 24 dedicated students from various schools to join us in recommending $10,000 in community grants! Participants will earn 10–15 hours of community service while gaining valuable skills in grantmaking and community impact. Due to high demand, participation is limited—so be sure to submit a strong application to stand out!
IMPORTANT DATES
Applications are due by September 12, 2025, and applicants will be notified of their status by September 14, 2025. Meetings are held weekly on Thursdays from September 18th to December 4th from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. There are no meetings during Washoe County School District Fall Break and Thanksgiving. Participants should plan to spend some time preparing before each meeting, including completing brief "homework" assignments.

Why are you interested in joining the HSGC?
If you have participated in HSGC before, share why you should be considered for another year of service. The 2025 HSGC has limited space and will likely have a waiting list. Preference may be given to students who have not participated before. If you have not participated in HSGC before, please write "N/A" in this field.
What extracurricular clubs or activities have you participated in or are currently involved in? While being active in clubs is not a requirement for the HSGC, sharing this information helps paint a picture of what helps to make you, you. You can also use this space to tell us about any other interests you have.
Please review the workshop dates. Can you commit to attending all 10 meetings, except in cases of unforeseen issues like injury, illness, or weather?
