Northstar Toolkit helps youth-serving organizations find aligned funders, organize participant outcome data, and write applications that demonstrate real impact on young lives.
Grant writing in youth development comes with unique obstacles. Northstar Toolkit is built to solve them.
Attendance, academic improvements, behavioral outcomes, and long-term follow-up data live in separate tracking systems — assembling a complete picture is time-consuming.
Youth development outcomes like career readiness and educational attainment take years to materialize. Funders want to see both immediate metrics and long-term trajectories.
Youth-serving organizations compete with schools, government programs, and larger national organizations. Standing out requires specific, localized impact evidence.
Organizations running mentoring, after-school, workforce development, and summer programs need different evidence sets for each — managed efficiently.
Import participant surveys, academic outcome reports, and program evaluations into a structured library. Track evidence across multiple program lines and age groups.
Search foundations funding mentoring, after-school programs, workforce development, juvenile justice alternatives, and youth leadership. See their 990 giving history.
