YFYI and SF Ed Fund have partnered so that more teens in SF have an opportunity to get their project ideas off the ground.
While YFYI handles bigger scale projects with seed money, SF Ed Fund has received a matching grant from YFYI to help youth at Balboa, Burton, CAT, Gateway, Leadership, Lowell and Thurgood Marshall high schools start smaller scale projects from the ground up.
To find out more about how you can find extra money with SF Ed Fund to help start a project at one of these high schools please visit the SF Ed Fund website at www.sfedfund.org

YFYI offers a variety of workshops to their funded and not funded projects. Our goal is to empower youth and make help make difference in the community. Thus, we always offer to help projects, funded or not, accomplish their goals. In the unfortunate case in which YFYI does not feel that a project is ready to be funded, YFYI will meet with the project to address and resolve issues that would prevent them from getting funded. When YFYI has repeatedly funded a project over three times, and feels that the project can no longer grow with their grants, we refer them to our sister Grant makers who can fund them for larger amounts of money in hopes that they may grow even more and perhaps make even greater positive change.
