The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation invests in the following 21 youth-serving organizations to help them serve more young people, achieve greater organizational effectiveness, and, ultimately, become models and leaders in youth development.
Single-Service Organizations
Single-service organizations specialize in providing one particular service to low-income youth, typically in several or even many geographic settings. These organizations primarily work to expand services to more youth around the country, as well as improve the quality of their programs.

Multi-Service Organizations/National Networks
Multi-service organizations and national networks provide a broader array of services. Because of their breadth, they are often a central source of support in whatever community (or in the case of Boys and Girls Clubs of America, a national organization that delivers services through local affiliates) they serve. These organizations focus primarily on improving and/or ensuring uniform quality across many programs and services.
