Moeller Youth Philanthropy Council

“True charity is the desire to be useful to others without thought of recompense”

-Emmanuel Swedenborg

• Every year, the MYPC is given $10,000

• Moeller students then come up with creative service projects and fill out a grant, asking for a certain amount of money needed for the project

• The council then rewards the money and the projects are carried out
