2023 marks another year of change giving and impact partnership
Youth To The People believes in individuals to engage in action, leaders to power advocacy and communities to create movements when it comes to societal change. Ultimately, we hope to energize a collective of changemakers from individual to industry that are inspired to invest as much as possible in supporting a better world and a healthy planet. The Good To The People Funds made grant donations throughout the year in continued support of change leaders that are shifting culture, challenging conversation and elevating opportunity to get us closer to our hope for a dream world for all. Through The Good To The People Funds we are proud to champion the following organizations and initiatives. We encourage our YTTP community to learn more and find out how to also action support.
