== History ==
Philanthropy Kids was started in 2011 by Amit Banerjee as his [[Eagle Scout Service Project|Eagle Scout Project]] while a member of Troop 51 in [[Frisco, Texas]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The original intent of the project was to create a magazine that would share the stories of kids doing good. The magazine encouraged submissions about different types of philanthropic behavior, ranging from small acts of kindness to larger multi-stage service projects. In March 2012, Philanthropy Kids released the first issue of Philanthropy Kids Magazine, highlighting the [[Boy Scouts of America]] and Dallas philanthropist, Bobby Lyle. The magazine was distributed mainly around the Dallas-Forth Worth area as well as across the country. Issues of the magazine were given to different groups and institutions such as schools, libraries, and corporate offices.<ref></ref> Later that year at TEDxKids@SMU, Banerjee was invited to give a talk about the magazine and how recognizing youth for the good that they do for others fosters a culture of service that continues throughout their life.<ref></ref><ref></ref>
In 2013, Philanthropy Kids acquired PAVE, an organization that holds courses that teach kids what philanthropy is, why it's important, and how they can be a philanthropist. PAVE originally stood for Philanthropy in Volunteerism in Education because all the courses were held as multi-week programs in class during the school day. Teachers would dedicate a few hours per week for the PAVE facilitators to teach the classes about philanthropy and non-profit organizations.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The program was later renamed Philanthropy and Volunteerism in Entrepreneurship as the topic of [[social entrepreneurship]] was integrated into the PAVE curriculum. In December 2013, PAVE held its first international program in [[Mazatlán|Mazatlán, Mexico]].<ref></ref>
In 2014, Philanthropy Kids released the second issue of Philanthropy Kids Magazine, recognizing Jackson Price and his efforts to fundraise for [[Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children]]. The organization continued hosting PAVE programs both within the United States and internationally, establishing PAVE as a global project.<ref></ref>
In 2017, Philanthropy Kids acquired Children Writing for Children, an organization that promoted literacy and emotional development in youth by distributing picture books written by children to other children.

=== Philanthropy Kids Magazine ===
Philanthropy Kids Magazine is a digital and print publication that highlights the stories of kids around the world doing good for others. The magazine promotes the message that one does not need to be rich or old to be a philanthropist they just have to care. They accept submissions about small acts of kindness and larger projects. The only requirements for submitting an article to the magazine is that the author must be below twenty-one years old.
The magazine is published both in print and is available online for free. The publications are distributed to schools, public libraries, doctors' offices, and other public areas. Students who submit articles to the magazine are invited to an event to celebrate the launch of the new issue.
The magazine has started using their various social media platforms to share the stories at a more regular rate similar to the [[Humans of New York]] photojournalism series.
=== PAVE ===
Philanthropy and Volunteerism in Entrepreneurship (PAVE) is a program founded by Bob Hopkins that teaches youth about philanthropy, non-profit organizations, and social entrepreneurship. PAVE teaches its participants that "Anyone can be a philanthropist". The goal of the program is to help grow students personally and professionally. Participants learn about what constitutes as philanthropic behavior, how they can engage in community service at home, how non-profit organizations operate, how social enterprises are started, and how they can start their own service project or non-profit organization. Participants also learn about soft skills such as how to be emotionally literate, how to effectively communicate through different media, and how to build a professional network. Participants in the program have been determined to have less inclination to engage in illegal and unethical activity because they have been taught how to live a philanthropic life. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
PAVE programs originally were exclusively held as part of classroom curriculum in select school districts but has since expanded and holds independent programs that are open for all youth. The program engages youth in both affluent communities and lower-income communities to ensure that community engagement is encouraged across demographics.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
Since 2013, PAVE has held programs around the world in Mazatlán, Mexico, [[Nagpur|Nagpur, India]], [[Monterrey|Monterrey, Mexico]], and [[Port-au-Prince|Port-au-Prince, Haiti]]. These programs usually are condensed and take place over a shorter period of time. They typically include a large-scale service project.<ref></ref>
