The Ashtabula Foundation celebrated its Youth Philanthropy students yesterday morning at the annual recognition luncheon held at Sheldon Calvary Camp in North Kingsville! 🎉

This year, 176 students from high schools across the county came together to make a real difference—awarding nearly $50,000 in grant funding to 33 nonprofit organizations throughout Ashtabula County.

Through their thoughtful giving and commitment to service, these students are helping meet critical community needs while gaining a deeper understanding of philanthropy and leadership. Their dedication is creating a lasting impact—both now and for the future. 💙

Special thanks to Keynote Speaker, Charles "Kip" Clarke, for his motivational message of finding one's own purpose through philanthropy and the presentations of student speakers, Isabella Limestoll of Pymatuning Valley High School and Janessa Kosik of A-Tech Career & Technical Center.
