A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Youth INC Community,

Youth INC had a stellar 2016! We grew our network to 63 nonprofit partners serving over 300,000 young people across the five boroughs of New York City.

Youth INC exists because 1 in 3 kids lives at or below the poverty line in NYC - $32,000 for a family of four. Grassroots nonprofits are there to support them and their families. Our mission is to transform the lives of young people by empowering the nonprofits that serve them.

We are so inspired by the passionate and tireless social entrepreneurs who lead grassroots nonprofits across our city. Youth INC helps our nonprofit partners achieve sustainable growth and improve their impact.

We coached our partners to raise over $1.2 million through our Celebration Fundraising Program, revitalized the governance of their Boards, and issued over $300,000 of BridgeFund cash grants to build out critical elements of their infrastructure. Our Key Performance Indicators show on average that our partners grew their revenue by over 170%, their Boards by almost 50% and the number of youth served by 130%. 4 5 We trained over 200 corporate professionals on nonprofit board service and placed 25 of them on the boards of our nonprofit partners. We engaged hundreds of people in service and skills-based volunteer opportunities “I think our mission of bringing resources through events with RBC, Morgan Stanley and Deloitte.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

I founded Youth INC in 1994 on the principles I learned from an 26 extraordinary visionary and friend, John C. Whitehead. We modeled 27 the organization around the kind of mentorship John provided to so many nonprofits throughout his lifetime. There was a point in time when John sat on 30 charitable boards at once! That was the kind of generous spirit I wanted to inculcate at Youth INC. Since John’s passing in January of 2015, I remain as committed as ever to the work we began. I am inspired by Rehana’s leadership and the team she has built putting the youth at the center of all we do, while artfully curating and partnering with our corporate constituents to drive our mission forward. Our city will always need grassroots nonprofits to fill in the support gaps for underserved kids. Youth INC’s work of empowering these organizations continues to be more vital than ever.
