Building Child & Youth Resilience
We believe that all young people should be empowered to realize their rights to a happy and healthy life.

Key Priorities
Our priorities are to engage strategically through grants and investments, to mentor and support young people advocating for change, and to work with others in the field to collectively call for better policies for children and youth.
Engage
We engage in philanthropic investments and grantmaking through relationships with local, youth-focused charities that align with our vision and mission.
Support
Each year, we support a cohort of passionate, hard-working young people who lead a project related to youth advocacy. They get the opportunity to create something meaningful as a team that relates to child and youth wellbeing. They also contribute to philanthropic granting and investment decisions.
How We Evoke Change
We believe that evidence-based research, trust-based grants, youth leadership, policy engagement, and advoacy rooted in rights-based frameworks are how change happens. We try to equip children, youth and their communities with the knowledge, credibility, resources, and networks to build resilience.
This can lead to systemic shifts that create environments where children and youth can thrive, heal, grow, and realize their full potential.
