About Young Living Foundation
The Young Living Foundation pairs large disaster-relief and anti-exploitation grants with a steady education portfolio. Its biggest recent award was $1.11 million to Hope for Justice in Nashville for disaster relief, a signal that rapid-response support sits alongside longer-running work in schools and scholarships. The foundation also backed Givv Hub in Provo with $310,000 in 2023 and $66,000 more in 2024, showing repeat support within its education work. Other large awards went to Roots Charter High School in West Valley City and to Sole Hope in Mount Juliet, reinforcing a mix of student support, community partners, and service organizations. The foundation’s stated aim centers on nurturing potential, rescuing the harmed, and protecting the earth, and its active programs reflect that through education access, women’s economic empowerment, and ending exploitation. Recent grants also include school sponsorships, capacity-building grants for women-led enterprises, and relief and outreach funding for partners serving survivors and disaster-impacted communities.
What Young Living Foundation Funds
Education is a core thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it gave $200,000 to Roots Charter High School in West Valley City for education, and it also funded Givv Hub in Provo in both 2023 and 2025 for education. The active program list shows scholarships for rising leaders and students through the Leadership Fund and the D. Gary Young Global Leadership Fund for Higher Education. In anti-trafficking and survivor support, it awarded $1.11 million to Hope for Justice in Nashville for disaster relief and $30,004 more to the same organization in 2023 for anti-human trafficking work. Women’s economic empowerment appears through capacity-building grants for women-led enterprises and programs that provide fair wages and social and economic returns.
How Young Living Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $18,750 at the 25th percentile, $30,002 at the median, and $50,625 at the 75th percentile. The recent grant list shows both one-time awards and repeated support: Givv Hub, Foundation Escalara, Engage Now Africa, Seed Programs Inc, and Hope for Justice each appear more than once across 2023–2025. The foundation is a public charity rather than a private family foundation or DAF, and it does not fund individuals directly. Some active programs accept unsolicited submissions, including Sponsor a Student and the implementing partner letter-of-inquiry pathway.
