Join the Youth Mental Health Corps Collaborative Fund
The YMHC Collaborative Fund provides philanthropies, corporations, and other partners the opportunity to sponsor the expansion and sustainability of the Youth Mental Health Corps.
Purpose of the Collaborative Fund
Streamline funding and reduce administrative burden by pooling resources into a single grant for state YMHC programs or the national initiative, while consolidating reporting and grant management for both funders and programs.
Maximize impact by pooling resources to achieve greater scale and outcomes while harnessing the expertise and focus areas of multiple funding stakeholders.
Provide access to shared data and insights through transparent impact measurement and reporting across all YMHC-supported initiatives.
Amplify influence and visibility by aligning funders with a high-impact, systems-change initiative that attracts additional investment and partnerships.
Promote shared learning across national service, workforce development, and policy.
Sponsorship Opportunities
State Matching Funds: Serve as a match to one or more participating states. Rather than investing in the entire initiative, identify 1-2 states and invest directly in their Corps. Funding could go toward extra training or other support and incentives for Corps members.
Impact Measurement: Invest in the development of a common impact framework and evaluation of the Youth Mental Health Corps.
Programmatic Infrastructure: Invest in the infrastructure of the Corps' national operations (e.g., assisting in the funding of one or more of the national anchor partners; supporting the development of a technical assistance hub comprising resources from the foremost nonprofit mental health organizations for states, youth, and member support).
