IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy hosted the Youth Changemakers Summit June 12-15. At this interactive summit, students and philanthropy club advisors learned from experts working in the field and IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy faculty and staff. The summit offered a unique opportunity for young people, because there are countless fundraising conferences for adults, but few focused on youth.
As a masters program graduate, Connor LaGrange, M.A. ’21, became a Patterson Foundation Fellow, “One of my favorite things was to help spearhead the dynamic fundraising initiative in conjunction with The Fund Raising School.”
