Teens for Tomorrow Overview
Teens for Tomorrow, or T4T, allows Quad City area high school students to learn about philanthropy by researching nonprofit organizations and by making grant decisions. T4T provides opportunities for young people to develop leadership skills and create positive change within the Quad City community.
Working together, T4T Board members identify community needs and address emerging issues. They distribute annual grants totaling $10,000 to local nonprofit organizations after evaluating grant requests and learning various agencies' missions.
