Teens Active in Grantmaking
Teens Active in Grantmaking (TAG) is all about putting the power
of philanthropy in the hands of the next generation. We’re here to help young leaders learn the ropes of grantmaking, understand how nonprofits change the world, and discover the incredible opportunities in the world of giving. We like to think of TAG as a backstage pass to making a real impact in the community!
As a program offered by the Community Foundation, TAG follows the same core mission: to connect people and resources to inspire philanthropy and create lasting change. But we do it with a fresh, fun, and teen-focused twist!
Applications for the 2025-2026 Cohort will open this Summer
If you are a high school student in Quincy, IL at Quincy Senior High School or Quincy Notre Dame who is passionate about making your community a better place, you should apply! New TAG members are selected by our TAG Advisory Committee. Students starting the program as a high school freshman can serve up to four years until they graduate high school.
Applications are available each year June 1 and due by September 1. Please note you will be required to create an account through our application system. The account will also allow you to apply for scholarships from the Community Foundation in the future!
We look forward to sharing more information soon.
