Localization Innovation Brief: Youth-led organization investment fund

The Youth-Led Organization (YLO) Investment Fund Pilot was developed by Save the Children US to extend flexible grants to YLO partners to invest in self-determined priorities that advance their missions and mandates. $500,000 USD was made available for the pilot through Save the Children’s President’s Fund, an internal unrestricted fund allocated at the Chief Executive Officer’s discretion to advance strategic priorities. The pilot aims to shift power to youth to help them recognize their full potential and contribute effectively to their country’s development.
