Project T.I.P.P. of the Tipp City Teen Leadership Academy
“Teens Impacting and Promoting Philanthropy”
April 2, 2024
TO: Area Non-Profit Organizations:
The Tipp City Foundation is pleased to continue its collaboration with the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce by providing grants through the Tipp City Teen Leadership Academy. The program will take place June 3-7. The intent of the program is to provide incoming Tipp City and Bethel high school seniors with experiences that will develop leadership skills and a lifelong commitment to community engagement. The Mission of the Tipp City Teen Leadership Academy is “Connecting Teens to Community”. It is our hope that the financial assistance in the form of these small grants will be of help to our area non-profits. We thank you in advance for your time in preparing a grant application and for your part in making this a meaningful experience for our youth.
Project T.I.P.P. is the grant making portion of the Teen Leadership Academy program and is funded by the Tipp City Foundation. Students participating in the program will become familiar with our community non-profit organizations and the impact of the services they provide our citizens. The goal is to give the teens the knowledge to identify community needs and the experience will encourage them to engage their time, treasure and talent now as well as influence their future commitment to volunteerism and meaningful philanthropy in the communities where they will live.
Project T.I.P.P is now accepting grant requests to support new and/or existing programs that address the needs of our community. There is a $500.00 maximum grant amount available to any one organization. Grant applications are processed through the online portal of The Troy Foundation using the following link: Project T.I.P.P. Online Grant Application
Applications must be submitted no later than 11:59 P.M. on Sunday May 19, 2024
Students will meet to evaluate the Project T.I.P.P grant applications on Wednesday June 5th. If your organization is selected to be awarded a grant, you will be contacted on Thursday June 6th. There will be a formal award ceremony on Friday June 7th. The location and time of the event will be determined at a later date.
