Millions of young people are waiting for a program

Demand for out-of-school programs is far greater than the seats available. Families want safe, engaging places for their children, and many can’t find one.

The funding to close that gap exists, but it is spread across public agencies, private foundations, and tax incentives that change year to year.

Turn evidence into investment

Strong funding starts with a clear case for what young people gain. We help you connect your program’s outcomes to what each funder cares about.

Our funding work draws directly on measurement, so your applications are backed by evidence, not just good intentions.

Credits and incentives that encourage employers and investors to support youth programming.

Private philanthropy.
Foundations and corporate partners aligned with youth development and workforce readiness.
