Devoted to unlocking the extraordinary potential of every kid by promoting family-first education policies, empowering families, supporting implementation of programs, and advancing education freedoms.
Yes Every Kid Foundation’s recent giving centers on family-first education policy and education freedom, with general operating grants supporting advocacy, implementation, and organizations working to remove barriers to family access. Its largest recent awards were two $50,000 grants in 2023: one to A for Arizona in Phoenix and one to Love Your School in Scottsdale. Those grants sit alongside support for policy and research groups, education scholarship-account organizations, and groups engaged in public-school access and family advocacy. The foundation also backs work that defends families and education entrepreneurs, and it funds capacity for organizations advancing education savings accounts, open enrollment, and related policy design. The pattern points to a funder that uses unrestricted or general operating support as a primary tool, rather than project-only grants. Recent recipients include Council of Oklahoma Private Education, Texas Public Policy Foundation, State of Indiana-Indiana Education Scholarship Account, and Opportunity 180, showing an emphasis on organizations working at the state level within a national scope of giving. The foundation’s grantmaking is tied to a family-first vision for education and the practical infrastructure needed to advance it.
A clear theme in the portfolio is policy work aimed at expanding education choice. The foundation gave $25,000 to State of Indiana-Indiana Education Scholarship Account for general operations, and $20,000 to Libertas Institute for the same purpose. Both grants align with support for education savings accounts and policy implementation. Research and policy analysis also appear in the portfolio: Common Sense Institute received $25,000 in 2024 for general operations, and Discovery Institute received $10,000 in 2024. The foundation also funds advocacy and public engagement around access to public schools and family needs. West Virginia Families United for Education received $10,000 in 2023, and Young Voices received $10,000 in 2024, both as general operations grants. These gifts fit the foundation’s stated interest in culture change, policy design, and defending families in education systems.
The typical grant size is tightly clustered: p25 is $10,000, the median is $25,000, and p75 is $25,000. That distribution matches a portfolio built around mid-sized general operating grants, with a few larger awards at $30,250 and $50,000. The recent record also shows repeat support across years for Independent Women’s Forum, which appears in both 2023 and 2024, indicating some ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards only. Yes Every Kid Foundation accepts unsolicited grant proposals through open-proposal and request-for-proposals channels, and it also runs invitation-only programming through the Education Freedom Legal Network. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments.
