The mission of the Funders' Collaborative on Youth Organizing (FCYO) is to substantially increase the philanthropic investment in and strengthen the organizational capacities of youth organizing groups across the country.

FCYO has supported the field of youth organizing for over ten years. We truly believe that the participation and leadership of young people, particularly young people of color, are critical in achieving social justice.
