HELP US REACH
$25,000
The Foundational Startup Capital Campaign is how this foundation gets off the ground. It funds the first year of youth programming in Mobile — the mentors, the classroom, the studio, the rides, and everything that turns a promise into a program a young person can actually attend.
Campaign goal
$25,000
Founding capital covers the first year of programming, mentor recruiting and screening, the Broadcast University studio, and the transportation and participation costs that keep families out.

Support the work
Fund the work, and a young person in Mobile feels it.
The foundation’s work with young people is funded by people who decide it matters — mentors, classrooms, equipment, rides, and the steady adults who keep showing up.
A gift, once or monthly, is what turns a plan into a room with young people in it.
What a gift pays for
- Mentors recruited, screened and trained
- Classrooms, materials and the media studio
- Credit literacy, tutoring and job readiness
- Rides and costs that keep a family from saying no
