FYMH
Members

Since our launch in September 2024, FYMH has grown organically to include 100+ individuals representing 50+ funders focused across the U.S. Our work is guided by a funder Steering Committee. The community is a mix of national, state, and local funders, as well as high-net-wealth individuals and corporate foundations. Funder members give a broad range of grant sizes from tens of thousands into the multi-millions, and have varying degrees of focus on youth mental health. They come to the issue from across sectors — from education to health to child welfare and juvenile justice to tech to youth and families. Many focus on specific sub-populations of young people experiencing disparities in outcomes. Funders across issues and sizes all have a critical role to play.
