Instill a tradition of giving

The Red Balloon Club^sm engages young people in charitable giving.  It is an opportunity to inspire a tradition of giving by inviting young people to join adults in saving for and advising their very own charitable endowment. Children and adults work side-by-side to contribute a minimum of $500 each year toward an endowment. Once the total reaches $5,000, fund advisors recommend distributions to their favorite charities.

Children involved in the Red Balloon Club are also eligible to participate in the grantmaking committee of the Oscar G. and Elsa S. Mayer Family Foundation Red Balloon Fund.
