The vision for PaY is to inspire, lead, and share. PaY aims to develop the philanthropic spirit in high school students by cultivating passion and purpose through leadership skill development and proactive community impact. PaY is designed to introduce local high school students to the importance of leadership and service through grant-making. PaY engages students from high schools in Fargo-Moorhead, Detroit Lakes, and the surrounding area. Each PaY committee is allocated $6,000 to use for grantmaking in the community. Student-led committees identify areas of focus, research community nonprofits, and conduct site visits before deciding how to award their allotted grant dollars. PaY meets twice a month.
