Transforming communities through dedicated youth funding
Since our founding, Funding the Next Generation has helped secure hundreds of millions of dollars for children and youth services across California. As part of a broader national movement led by our umbrella organization, Children’s Funding Project, we support local leaders in building sustainable, community-driven revenue streams for young people.

These efforts are creating real, lasting change for children and families, and communities throughout California and inspiring action nationwide.
