About Annie E Casey Foundation
Annie E Casey Foundation Inc directs some of its largest recent grants toward youth engagement, especially the Jim Casey Initiative. Cetera Inc received repeated support of $1,200,215 in 2024 and 2025 for youth engagement activities, and the pattern continues with another 2025 grant of $1,077,650 for the same work. That level of repeated funding points to a funder that backs multi-year strategies rather than isolated awards. The foundation also pairs direct service and policy work. New America Foundation received $1,185,000 in 2025 for the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship, while the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities received $700,000 in 2025 to provide technical assistance to the State Priorities Partnership network and help advance equitable state budgets and tax systems. Those grants sit alongside support for family well-being, juvenile justice, and youth leadership. Across the recent grants list, Annie E Casey Foundation Inc appears to use grants to build field capacity, strengthen implementation, and support data-driven work. Child Trends Inc, the Fund for Educational Excellence, and the Arizona Community Foundation Inc each appear with purpose-driven awards tied to strategy groups, leadership and engagement, and EITC outreach to young workers.

Youth engagement and leadership is a clear thread in the recent grants. Annie E Casey Foundation Inc gave $665,000 in 2025 to the Fund for Educational Excellence to support a youth and young adult leadership and engagement strategy, linking grant dollars to organized leadership development. Workforce preparation also shows up through apprenticeship and benefits access. New America Foundation received $1,185,000 in 2025 for the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship, and the Arizona Community Foundation Inc received $640,000 in 2025 for EITC outreach to young workers and other youth policy priorities. Family well-being and access to postsecondary pathways are another focus. Child Trends Inc received $725,000 in 2025 for self-evaluation and data for the Family Well-Being Strategy Group, and The Institute for College Access and Success received $690,000 in 2025 for improving postsecondary access for parents receiving TANF. Juvenile justice appears in place-based work as well: La Plazita Institute received $600,000 in 2025 to support the Albuquerque Justice for Youth Community Collaborative.
