$101,684 spentSupport for institutional challenge grants-the institutional challenge grant supports university-based research institutes, schools, and centers in building sustained research-practice partnerships with public agencies or nonprofit organizations in order to reduce inequality in youth outcomes. The grant requires that research institutions shift their policies and practices to value collaborative research. Institutions will also need to build the capacity of researchers to produce relevant work and the capacity of agency and nonprofit partners to use research. The foundation closely collaborates with a small number of partner foundations to support approximately 4-5 new projects per year.
$121,441 spentSupport for youth service improvement grantees - the foundation makes a number of capacity-building and communications grants per year to convene our grantees for peer-learning opportunities. The foundation invests in organizations that can bolster grantees' success and afford networking opportunities by cultivating learning communities that support grantees in conducting their research; navigating challenging issues; expanding their networks across disciplines and fields; and strengthening relationships within teams, partnerships, and mentee-mentor pairs.
$76,518 spentMeeting participation and sponsorship-in 2023, foundation staff led, participated in, or delivered virtual presentations at more than approximately 60 convenings in areas of interest to the foundation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $452M to $387M (−14%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
