Our Impact

Over the last 30 years SparkYouth NYC has supported more than 75 youth development programs that have gone on to serve over 3 million young people, and counting. Our rigorous selection process and close partnership with organizations has allowed us to achieve a proven track record of selecting and investing in the best emerging youth development programs in NYC. While nearly one-third of nonprofits close their doors in the first five years, 95% of our organizations are still thriving and positively impacting the lives of young people.

Providing a significant, multi-year, financial investment alongside our unique Cofactor Lab empowers our organizations to invest in the future and become stronger, more resilient assets for their communities. During their time as a grantee of SparkYouth 95% of our organizations double in size and 45% triple in size.
