Our LDP Teen Fundraiser & Matching Grant Donors

As part of the training in our Leadership Development Program, we teach teens how to identify prospective donors in their networks, create a solicitation pitch based on the lessons and experiences they’ve had with CCC, and participate in a fundraiser they lead themselves. They learn about the power of a matching grant and how to weave it into their pitches to reach their fundraising goals.

Recognizing that each of our teens bring different skill sets to the table, our LDP Fundraiser offers a variety of techniques including phone calls, email and social media campaigns or building your own fundraiser for each teen to use to accomplish their goals!

Our matching grant program is a successful learning tool and motivator for our teens as they work to become community leaders, and we are grateful to the generous donors who have chosen to be part of this important and impactful program.

Thanks to our 2024 Matching Grant Donors, the first $40,000 raised by our teens during their  fundraiser includes a dollar-for-dollar match!
