Knowledge Development

The Foundation is committed to sharing the successes, failures, and lessons learned from its efforts to increase the numbers of youth served with proven programs. Ultimately, the Foundation hopes to influence the field of youth development, nonprofit organizations, the larger philanthropic field, and government policy-makers to place greater emphasis and focus on proven programs that are best positioned to deal with the challenges facing low-income communities across the United States.


In addition to reports and analysis on its grantmaking approach, the Foundation plans to develop tools that other nonprofits can use and apply to their own organizations to improve the effectiveness of their own programs, improve operation, and drawer greater support and resources.


A list of available reports and resources from the Foundation can in the Reading Room section under Publications.
