About Strivetogether
StriveTogether Inc centers its grantmaking on place-based partnerships that work on systems change for children and young people, with a clear emphasis on policy, coalition-building, and transformation. In 2024, one of its largest awards went to Commit Partnership in Dallas for $700,000, reflecting the scale it brings to regional organizations working on policy. The foundation also backed Seeding Success in Memphis with $600,000 in 2024, showing a similar commitment to intermediaries that coordinate local efforts across education and opportunity systems. Its published mission is to partner with communities so every child has every chance to succeed, regardless of race, ethnicity, poverty, or circumstance. That framing aligns with grant themes across K–12 education, early childhood, early-grade reading, middle-grade math, high school graduation, postsecondary enrollment and completion, workforce and career pathways, racial equity, and community capacity building. Recent awards also include systems transformation grants, suggesting that StriveTogether Inc funds organizations that can convene partners, support coalitions, and help align policy and practice around long-term outcomes for young people.
What Strivetogether Funds
A major thread in StriveTogether Inc’s grantmaking is policy capacity. It gave $460,000 in 2024 to Learn to Earn Dayton for Policy work, and $250,000 in 2024 to Generation NextGreater Twin Cities United Way for Policy, showing that policy support is not confined to one region or one type of intermediary. The foundation also invests in challenge-fund style coalition work. Commit Partnership in Dallas received $250,000 in 2023 for Challenge Fund support, while Thrive Chicago received $350,000 in 2023 for the same category. In the education pipeline, grants connect to local cradle-to-career work: Cradle to Career Partnership in Tucson received $250,000 in 2023, and Fresno Cradle to Career received $250,000 in 2023. Systems transformation appears as another priority. ROC the Future dba Children's Institute Inc in Rochester received $250,000 in 2024 for Systems Transformation, linking the funder’s portfolio to organizations positioned to coordinate broader change.
How Strivetogether Gives
Typical awards are substantial: the grant-size distribution runs from a p25 of $36,250 to a median of $150,000 and a p75 of $250,000. The recent grant list shows repeated support for the same organizations across years, including Commit Partnership in 2023 and 2024, Seeding Success in 2023 and 2024, and ROC the Future dba Children's Institute Inc in 2023 and 2024. That pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. StriveTogether Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The active Pathways Impact Fund is a national initiative, and unsolicited applications are not accepted for that program.
