We recently gathered Ahmad, Mayla and Marwa, members of our Teen Grantmaking Initiative (TGI) to reflect on their program experience. “It was fantastic … I learned so many things, I definitely felt like I did make a big change in the community,” Ahmad said about his first year in CAAP’s Teen Grantmaking Initiative (TGI).
This groundbreaking program has distributed around $10,000 to important youth-focused causes in the Detroit metropolitan community, and the youth are looking forward to recruiting new members, visiting grantees, fundraising, and making grant decisions.
TGI is eligible to compete for matching funds from Microsoft, and we need your help! Starting Tuesday, September 24 at noon EST, donations* will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Microsoft. All you have to do is click HERE or HERE to have your donation matched!
