Meet Young Philanthropists Who are Using Creative Ways to Raise Money for Those in Need


credit:

"Most of us have heard of the great philanthropists of the past, and we know about wealthy contributors in today's world.

But how many of us think of children and young adults as potential philanthropists who can, and will, give lots of money, either inherited or earned, to significant causes? Do they really have the compassion, interest, and support to think big and take action? If you ask Talia Leman, she will say emphatically, yes! What gave the then-10-year-old confidence to get the word out and find donors who amassed $10 million for kids affected by Hurricane Katrina? It all began when Leman saw images of the destruction caused by the hurricane.

That motivated her to create a successful charity that raised money through trick-or-treating.

Later on, she helped start a nonprofit called RandomKid that encourages young people to do something about the causes they believe in.

From 2006 to 2022, the organization has raised $12 million for its diverse projects, according to its website.

Today, RandomKid has mobilized the efforts of 12 million youth from 20 countries to provide aid on four continents.
