Guide & FAQ's

We believe that the cycle of poverty for youth can be disrupted by helping economically disadvantaged youth and young adults get an education, find a good job, and stay physically and mentally healthy.

  • Virtual Site Visits: Up to 15 semi-finalist applicants will be invited to participate in a 1-hour Zoom call with All Stars staff, the nonprofit’s ED, and a board member. This will take place during the October 3rd – 19th timeframe.

  • Pitch Day: On November 10th, up to 10 finalists will participate in a Pitch Day, making the case for support in a live 4-minute pitch and 10 slides to our esteemed panel of judges! IT’S POSSIBLE!
  • The next cohort of up to 5 grantees will be selected and invited to the 2023 Cohort in mid-November 2022. They will formally be announced in January 2023.

 

If at any point your organization does not make it to the next round, you will have the opportunity to receive feedback IF you would like feedback. PLEASE NOTE: We will only provide suggestions on HOW to strengthen your application. We WILL NOT provide insight into WHY your organization was not selected to move on to the next round.
