ABOUT US
Inspirational Futures Foundation (IFF) is a private, grantmaking foundation committed to supporting and collaborating with 501(c)(3) organizations that bring a broad range of perspectives and are responsive to the needs of the communities they serve.
Communities
Children and Teens
Mental health is not just a component of well-being in the formative years of childhood and adolescence but a pivotal factor in shaping a resilient and vibrant future. Our commitment is to provide grants that empower organizations to offer resources, support, and advocacy tailored to the unique challenges children and teens face. Our grantees recognize the importance of ensuring all young people can thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Our grants are designed to have lasting impact on the successful growth of children and teens. They enable organizations to diagnose and treat conditions and disorders, to develop strength of body, mind, and character. This focus lays the foundation for a resilient generation, one that is ready to face life’s hurdles as they grow into adulthood and strive to reach their full potential.
Young Adults
As teens transition to adulthood, they may face ever-evolving and complex challenges that affect their mental health. IFF is dedicated to supporting organizations that provide and foster environments for early and continuing intervention to diagnose, serve, and support life’s obstacles. Through collaborative initiatives and strategic partnerships with other organizations, Inspirational Futures Foundation creates opportunities for young adults to support balanced growth, self-discovery, and the development of coping mechanisms essential for navigating adulthood.
Families and Caregivers
Inspirational Futures Foundation understands that the mental health of an individual in need extends beyond the individual, regardless of age. It is intricately connected to the integrated health and strength of the individual’s family and caregivers. Families and caregivers require supportive environments where they feel understood, engaged, and better equipped to meet the demands and complexities of the emotional health difficulties faced by individuals in their family or care. IFF is committed to providing those families and caregivers with the skills to handle stress and other aspects associated with supporting the children, teens, and young aduts in their lives while they remain physically and mentally well.
Guiding Principles of IFF’s Grant-making
Inspirational Futures Foundation recognizes the unique needs of different communities and strives to provide grants for initiatives and ongoing projects that are accessible and responsive to the community’s needs.
Grant Process
IFF does not accept unsolicited grant proposals. We do not provide grants to individuals. Our grant-making process involves evaluating grant proposals and assessing factors, such as alignment with our mission, as well as your historical and demonstrated capacity to address the needs of those you serve. We seek grantees that we determine can best carry out programs with significant potential to effect positive change. This discerning approach allows us to support initiatives that not only align with our mission but also demonstrate a clear and tangible impact on the individuals and communities the grant is intended to serve. Your proposal must demonstrate your ability to account for and report on grant funds received. Your proposal must include audited financial statements that are no older than 15 months.
