This is a national stewardship investment campaign raising $55 million in 5.5 months to support 5.5 million U.S. youth ages 15–25 in taking the lead to develop a connective and thriving life and career launching ecosystem.
Now Open: Oct 2025 - Feb 2026
We can’t wait for the
life and career launching system to fix itself.
Through the 5.Youth Thrive Fund (5.YTF), we’re collectively funding, designing, and building tools, data, and pathways so that youth take the lead and thrive.
SYSTEMS MUST
CONNECT.
Schools, employers, and community programs work in silos.
YOUTH MUST
LED.
Too often, decisions are made about youth, not with them.
CAPITAL MUST
ACTIVATE.
Over $250B sits dormant in DAFs while youth struggle for direction.
OPPORTUNITY MUST
CIRCULATE.
Current life and career learning and launching systems extract and fragment.
The LaunchPad links readiness, opportunity, and belonging in one connected ecosystem.
The 5.YTF puts young people in the driver’s seat to design and lead real solutions.
The 5.YTF turns those dollars into real opportunities for youth to lead and thrive.
The Circular Value Economy gives back to those who create
and use it.
