The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation invests in the following nineteen 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.

These organizations are primarily focused on improving and/or ensuring uniform quality in youth services across many programs and services.
