About Youth for Tomorrow Foundation
Youth for Tomorrow Foundation’s recent grants are built around one recipient: Youth for Tomorrow- New Life Center Inc in Bristow, Virginia. The foundation’s stated mission is closely tied to that work, supporting trauma-informed residential treatment, foster care, education, and outpatient behavioral health services for at-risk youth and families. The repeated grants to the New Life Center show an emphasis on direct service support, guidance, and services in the charitable mission of YFT rather than a broad portfolio of unrelated awards. The foundation’s focus areas include child welfare and foster care, residential treatment, behavioral health and mental health, substance abuse treatment, secondary education, and mentoring. Beneficiaries listed for the foundation include clients served by YFT New Life Center and local community members. Across the grants on file, the funding pattern points to sustained support for a local service provider serving youth and families through a mix of care, counseling, and education-related programs.
What Youth for Tomorrow Foundation Funds
Child welfare and foster care are central to the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $3,975,000 to Youth for Tomorrow- New Life Center Inc for support, guidance, and services in the charitable mission of YFT. That same service model appears in the foundation’s work in residential treatment, with grants to the same Bristow organization in 2024 and 2023 for the same stated purpose. The foundation also lists behavioral health and mental health among its focus areas, alongside substance abuse treatment, which aligns with its support for outpatient behavioral health services. Education is another named area, including secondary education, and mentoring appears in the focus list as well. The repeated language in the grant descriptions suggests that the foundation’s role is to strengthen a local provider delivering integrated services rather than to fund short-term project work.
How Youth for Tomorrow Foundation Gives
Typical grants are large: the 25th percentile is $1,090,000, the median is $2,145,000, and the 75th percentile is $3,200,000. The recent record also shows repeated awards to the same recipient across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates ongoing support rather than one-off giving. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grants are structured as direct service support, organizational support, technical assistance or guidance, and general operating or unrestricted support, all consistent with the repeated purpose language in the grant records.
