Meet the Change Makers, our Youth Advisory Board. This growing group of brave and helpful kids are not only performing acts of kindness, both small and large, they are contributing their voices to help shape our programs. Change Makers are divided into three groups:
Mini: 6th - 7th Grade
Junior: 8th - 9th Grade
Senior: 10th - 12th Grade
Change Makers gain an opportunity to learn about The B Fund, its daily operations and the grant making process. At the end of each year, Change Makers participate in a giving circle that will enable them to allocate a specific amount of funds to a local organization providing resources to critically ill children and their families.
Be inspired and check out our current group of Change Makers below.

Interested in becoming a Change Maker?
At The B Fund, we know that every individual is different; not all individuals will have the same amount of time, the same talents and interests, or the same treasures to give, and that’s ok! In fact, we welcome these differences and believe it is important to gain insights from all walks of life.
To learn more about becoming a Change Maker, email us at info@thebfund.org or follow us on Instagram @thebfund. Applications for the 2022-2023 year are scheduled to go live May 2022.
