Empowering Next Generation Philanthropy
Centre PACT (Philanthropic Actions Created by Teens) is Centre Foundation’s hands-on philanthropy program for high school students in Centre County. Throughout the program, students identify issues affecting their peers, solicit and review grant applications, fundraise, and distribute grants to local nonprofits that will have a positive impact on youth in our community. Funding for these grants is provided by the Centre PACT Fund, a permanent endowment fund which supports this program, and generous contributions from community members and local businesses. Since 2016, members of Centre PACT raised and granted over $52,000 to local nonprofits.
