Your Support Matters

2019 has seen amazing progress toward fulfilling our mission to support the mental health and emotional well-being of young people of color—so many of whom are in crisis across the country. 

From our inception to date:

  • We have reached 150,000+ students, teachers, administrators, parents, and faculty with critical educational programs;

  • We have partnered with 170+ groups, from nonprofit organizations to community colleges, and Ivy League universities;

  • With JED Foundation, we have launched the first-of-its-kind Equity in Mental Health Framework, a guide for colleges and universities to prioritize the mental health of their students of color that has already been downloaded more than 5,000 times;

  • We have hosted 10 Young, Gifted & @Risk conferences and regional meetings, bringing together critical quorums of senior administrators, experts, researchers, nonprofit leaders, students, and families;

  • We have facilitated the use of mental health technologies among 2.5 million young people in urgent need, saving 6 lives.


None of this would be possible without support like yours. Your donation will have a direct impact by aiding The Steve Fund’s team in its expansion to reach many more young people of color. 

During this #GivingSeason, please consider pledging your support to The Steve Fund.

Be well,
