Coming Together

YFC integrates the complementary tasks of serving youth and families in disadvantaged communities. More than 25 different nonprofit and civic organizations have pledged to join YFC so far:
Nonprofit Partners
Supporting Partners
YFC was established by nonprofits that realized we must work together more systematically to address multiple, linked challenges facing low-opportunity communities, with limited resources. The siloed approach is no longer working.
Working Together
Together, we created YFC to manage fund development, operations, marketing, volunteer coordination, and policy, on behalf of dozens of nonprofits that work to support young people and families in distressed and low-opportunity communities. YFC meets the most important needs on behalf of its member nonprofits, including:
Marketing Marketing YFC generates earned media on behalf of nonprofits and manages this website and its social media. |
Operations Operations YFC provides IT services, payroll and facilities support, human resources, training, evaluation metrics, and professional mentoring. |
Fund Development Fund Development YFC organizes events, writes grant applications, develops and promotes giving programs, and strategically recruits and mobilizes third-party support. |
Volunteers Volunteers YFC uses its grassroots reach to engage, recruit, match, train, and integrate volunteers on behalf of nonprofits. This includes managing background checks, onboarding work, and data integration. |
Policy Policy YFC advocates on behalf of nonprofits in the federal, state, and municipal legislative and administrative processes to influence outcomes and fully empower our nonprofits to do what they do best. |
Together, we are turning the "What if's..." into reality!
