Main Street Philanthropy By: Emily Silver Over the course of ten weeks, I participated in a program called Main Street Philanthropy every Tuesday. This program was designed to teach adolescents like myself how to handle money and also give us the opportunity to explore donating to charities. During the first week the class participated in an activity called “Make a Difference,” which helped what issues they were most ple with mental and physical youth services, and hunger as wanted to address. Based on

each student narrow down concerned with. I chose peodisabilities, children and the most prominent issues I what everyone else chose,

Yale Levey, the philanthropist who ran the program, created groups that put people who had similar concerns together. Everyone in my group primarily wanted to focus on providing leadership for disadvantaged children. Once each group had identified their main interest, the discovery of charities and analysis began.

The goal was to find a charity that was a nonprofit organization that played a role in helping our concern. In order to find a suitable charity, the class partook in both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis focuses on what goes on behind the scenes at the charity. Quantitative analysis is the using IRS Form to determine if the charity is financially wise, meaning that they use their money in the best way possible. After identifying charities, the members of the groups made “cold calls” to each charity, where they would speak to a charity representative

about the Main Street Philanthropy program and discuss the possibility of their group raising money to donate to their organization. Also they asked if the person would be interested in coming in for the panel class so they could learn about the charity in an at depth level.

There were two panel classes, both of which were very successful. We had representatives come from the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation, Bridge of Books, the Valarie Fund, and the Mental Health Association.

During the weeks of the panel classes, the team members began their fundraising projects. The fundraisers varied from bake sales to selling candy canes to collecting books. All of them went very well and we managed to raise over $1,000. I went into this class not really sure what to expect, yet the overall outcome was beyond any picture I had in my mind of what it was going it be like. I am so glad I did this class because I not only learned a lot about life and how to interact with others, but I also learned things about myself. For example, I

was not expecting to be so engaged in the whole fundraising part of it, but I absolutely loved doing it due to the fact that I knew every dollar that I earned would be helping a suffering child.

Member of the Month By: Nikita Verma

Emily Silver deserves the Millburn High School Member of the Month award in January because of her ongoing participation and dedication to Main Street Philanthropy. She was one of the few students to first sign up for it, and ever since has remained interested. She also volunteered to write a long, in detailed article on her thoughts on the experience for the Millburn Key.
