Success Stories

 

Since 1969, the Princeton Youth Fund has had a positive influence in the lives of Princeton's young people granting over $800,000 to hundreds of programs.

 

The Princeton Youth Fund Provided initial seed money to HiTops when the program was in its infancy; recently HiTops purchased its building and the program is being emulated throughout the United States.

 

The Princeton Youth Fund provided the additional funds for Princeton High School to start a summer school program in 1999, keeping students on-track for graduation. In one year, the Summer School program was fully funded without assistance from the Youth Fund.
