About Us:
At BE Youth Foundation Inc. our mission is to provide assistance for specialized & accelerated education for children. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our team is dedicated to making a positive impact on the children we serve and helping them reach their full potential.
About Our Program:
BE Youth Foundation Inc. (BYF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to raise funds and distribute them to programs that specifically support child enrichment education. All funds distributed are intended for an approved sponsored child through BYF. The sponsorship process at BYF is facilitated by our diligent committee. Those interested in seeking sponsorship must complete a BYF application and meet specific qualifications and requirements as outlined by our organization. These requirements help us ensure that the sponsorships are directed to those who truly need and deserve the support.
It's important to note that the availability of funds is a determining factor in our sponsorship program. We allocate sponsorships based on the funds we have available at any given time. This means that the number and amount of sponsorships may vary.
For the benefit of the children we serve, BYF has established a policy that allows a single child to be sponsored by our organization twice within a calendar year. Each sponsorship period extends up to three months at a time, and the maximum amount of sponsorship granted is $500 per sponsorship.
To maintain transparency and accountability, we have a dedicated team that rigorously vets and evaluates our affiliate programs. Once a sponsorship application is approved, the funds are paid directly to the approved affiliate program. This ensures that the funds are used effectively for the child's education and development.
What We Fund:
We provide assistance for child programs that are commited to the growth and well being of the child. We believe that enrichment education can expand a childs knowledge, enhance a childs mental health state, and broaden their abiliy to decide what they have interest in. In result, this support allows for a childrent to attain a structured and fulfilling childhood, and anticipation for an even brighter future.
We fund programs that are approved by our committee. If there is a program not approved by BYF, please email info@beyouthfoundation.org with the program information. Our team will perform due diligence in order to approve a new affiliate.
Eligibility:
Programs must be based in San Bernardino County, Los Angeles County, or Orange County.
Children who may qualify for assistance through BE Youth Foundation Inc. (BYF) are those who are in foster care or living in households that receive government assistance. Our organization is dedicated to providing support to children facing unique challenges, and we aim to ensure access to quality education and resources.
BE Youth Foundation Inc. (BYF) recognizes that financial hardship can significantly impact a child's access to education. To further clarify our eligibility criteria, children in need of assistance may also include those living in households experiencing financial hardship. We understand that the debt-to-income ratio is a critical indicator of this hardship, and as such, BYF considers households with a debt-to-income ratio of 80% or above as eligible for our support.
We understand that each family's situation is unique, and determining eligibility will also depend on household size, and may sometimes be discretionary. Our goal is to assist those families who are genuinely struggling with financial burdens that affect their ability to provide educational opportunities for their children.
At BYF, our commitment is to support children facing various challenges in accessing quality education. By considering household financial hardship, we seek to make a meaningful impact in the lives of these children and provide them with opportunities for a brighter future.
