Empowering Youth is What We Do!

In a world where opportunities aren’t always accessible, UFCS has taken a step forward to bridge the gap for our youth. Today, we unveil our campaign: “Empowering to Thrive with Youth.”

Our mission? To nurture the young minds of our community and ensure that they are equipped with not just education, but also the skills, social capital, and an unshakeable sense of belonging.

Imagine a young girl, Mia, passionate about technology but lacking resources. Now envision her using the tools and mentorship provided by UFCS to create her very first app. Or think of Jake, who loves to connect with people but doesn’t have the network. Through our initiatives, he gets to meet industry leaders and gains internships that set the foundation for his career. Our campaign aims to create hundreds of Mias and Jakes.

Our youth is our future, and every dollar raised will be a step towards ensuring they possess a bright and compelling one. Through vocational trainings, mentorship programs, and community engagement activities, we aim to foster an environment where every young person feels seen, valued, and prepared to rise.

As the next chapter unfolds, we’re asking you to be a part of this transformative journey. A journey where dreams aren’t just dreams, but pathways to reality. A “multiverse” where every young individual, irrespective of their background, feels empowered to achieve upward mobility.

Join us. Donate today. And together, let’s craft a brighter future for our youth!

Fund the future

First generation, marginalized, and low-income youth and young adults need support systems that are centered on equity and empowerment. UFCS works with our community to provide a robust network of support that meet a diverse set of needs. Working together, we can ensure that support is always free, and barriers are removed in their path to a meaningful education and career. They dared to dream big. Let’s dream with them!

United for College|Career Success (UFCS) and Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) represent an efficient way to channel your philanthropic efforts towards supporting underserved youth in their journey towards college and career success. These funds not only allow you to make a significant charitable contribution but also to avail an immediate tax deduction, while retaining the privilege to recommend grants from the fund over time.

At UFCS, we are privileged to collaborate with some of the leading DAF sponsor organizations and their philanthropic services teams in the United States. Your grants to UFCS through Donor-Advised Funds can be earmarked in one of two impactful ways:

  1. Allocating the funds where the need is most pressing, thereby allowing us to channel resources towards pivotal areas.
  2. Designating the funds for a specific focus area that aligns with your philanthropic interests, such as educational equity, career development programs, or health and wellness initiatives for youth.

Individuals associated with BNY Mellon, Fidelity Charitable, and Schwab Charitable can conveniently direct their contributions through the DAF Direct window available on our webpage.

UFCS is a registered non-profit, holding the tax I.D. number 887-2591184

 I have been balancing late
nights at school as well as my job and saving up as much money as I can so that I can pay off my loans.
