A Message from our CEO

Thank you for stopping by Philanthropy Kids — I hope that while you're here, you learn more about our impact and consider getting involved in our work to build the next generation of givers.

​

Since our founding in 2011, we've been dedicated to celebrating and inspiring young changemakers through education, leadership, and hands-on philanthropy experiences. Philanthropy Kids has looked a little different over the years, evolving from a print magazine sharing stories of kids helping others to an education & youth development organization with programs across the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

​​

Last year, we served 700+ students through our PAVE and Impact Factory programs. These programs enable youth to recognize their abilities to serve their community as well as develop their skills to ensure they are workforce-ready.

​

If we haven’t yet had the opportunity to collaborate, we invite you to reach out. Let’s explore how we can champion our shared interest in shaping and securing the future of philanthropy.

​

In partnership with you,

Amit Banerjee
