Summary
This grant opportunity is run by a national-level alliance that supports youth‑serving nonprofit organizations across the United States. Rather than making direct grants to individuals, it builds capacity among nonprofits in the fields of education, workforce development, civic engagement, and youth leadership. Membership in the alliance is by application, and it is designed for executive teams: CEOs and leadership from nonprofits that already have a strong commitment to serving young people.
Once part of the alliance community, member organizations gain access to leadership development, peer learning cohorts, capacity-building programs, and strategic support. The alliance also sponsors collaborative initiatives — large-scale, multi‑organization projects that tackle complex youth‑related challenges that no single nonprofit can address alone. These joint efforts may focus on research, advocacy, program design, or policy change, especially around issues like education access, civic participation, high school graduation, and non‑degree pathways to success.
Funding tied to these collaborative efforts comes on a project basis and is intended to help leverage the collective scale of member organizations. For example, some grants support national research agendas, others support cohort-based leadership development, and still others support multi-year shared initiatives to expand youth engagement or strengthen nonprofit infrastructure. These resources may be used for program operations, capacity building, youth participation, organizational strategy, or cross-organization partnerships.
Eligible organizations must be nonprofits with national or regional scale, working in youth and education sectors. Strong applicants are those that already have infrastructure and leadership capacity, and who are ready to engage in collective action alongside peer organizations. Because this opportunity is not a conventional grant‑making program but rather a networked capacity model, it is ideal for organizations that want to deepen their strategic impact, build alliances, and drive change at both local and national levels.
Overall, this opportunity offers not just funding, but a platform for long-term impact: organizations that join can benefit from leadership training, peer support, and pooled resources to tackle big youth issues. It is best suited for nonprofits committed to scaling their work, engaging in shared learning, and influencing national systems for the benefit of young people.
