Younger Family Fund Goals from 2025-2027

YFF exists to support outstanding leaders and their nonprofits to improve the lives of vulnerable people around the globe. We orient around these goals in our grantmaking:

  1. Develop and support a portfolio of 50-70 organizations that have strong leadership, have high impact potential, and a clear need for funding across our focus areas.

  2. Practice generosity together, strengthen our family connectedness, and grow in our stewardship.

Our goals require listening. In fact, we believe listening is a form of taking action.

3 Year Outlook

We’ll focus our limited time on the following focus areas during these calendar years:

2025: We strengthened our climate portfolio by adding nonprofits with a faith-based approach to address the climate crisis.

2025: We developed two anchors within spiritual development and developed a paper to guide our first anchor:

(1) Leaders focused on equipping churches with whole-church children & youth spiritual formation.

(2) Leaders of influence who have interesting and creative ways to help Christians integrate their faith with all of their lives

2025: We shared anti-trafficking funding recommendations, and are in the process of developing a new investment thesis for our Justice portfolio.

2025: We are developing a new investment thesis for healthcare & delivery, which will include R&D for juvenile arthritis, Lyme and other co-infections.
