Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Youth and young adult employment, apprenticeship, and workforce pathways
- Child welfare and family well-being system reform, including prevention and kinship care
- State fiscal policy, tax credits, and KIDS COUNT data advocacy
- Youth justice reform, probation transformation, and community safety
- Baltimore, Atlanta, and Albuquerque place-based community investment
- Research, evaluation, and technical assistance for grantee networks
Typical grant
Median grant is $40,000, with the middle half running $5,000 to $87,500, so most of the money moves in modest, specific chunks. The six-figure checks ($200,000 to $1.2 million) go to national intermediaries and research shops running multi-site initiatives like Thrive by 25, Generation Work, Jim Casey, and the State Priorities Partnership. Repeat giving is heavy: Urban Institute, Fund for Educational Excellence, National Fund for Workforce Solutions, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and Aspen Institute all appear multiple times in a single year.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “young people”
- “technical assistance”
- “capacity building”
- “student parent”
- “economic opportunity”
- “youth and young adults”
Positioning adjacent work
- Tie your work to a named initiative already funded: Thrive by 25, Generation Work, KIDS COUNT, or Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential.
- Ask $200,000 to $400,000 for a defined research or TA product, not open-ended general operating support.
- Frame subjects as young people ages 14 to 25, and name the specific systems touching them: TANF, SNAP, probation, child welfare.
- Offer technical assistance or evaluation capacity to their existing grantee network rather than proposing a standalone program.
Worth knowing: Maryland and DC take a third of all grants, and Atlanta, Albuquerque, and Baltimore recur as deliberate place-based sites, so location matters a lot outside the national policy shops. A relatively small set of Washington intermediaries and university research centers absorbs the large awards, and those relationships clearly predate any single grant, so an unconnected applicant is likelier to land in the $5,000 to $50,000 band.
