Give Next is a school-based grantmaking program for middle and high school students in Larimer County. Through the Give Next program, local businesses, foundations, and individuals become classroom donors by providing each participating school with $5,000 to award to nonprofits in Larimer County, Colorado. With the financial support of these generous donors, students design and manage their own grantmaking programs. Give Next values the insights young people have about the needs in our community and celebrates the impact they can have now and in the future. Students experience the power of collaboration and the impact they can have on their community. At the end of the school year, students award grants to selected nonprofits at an awards ceremony. Give Next is made possible through the support of many community partners; primary program implementation partners are Bohemian Foundation and the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado.
