2025 Innovation Fund

Expanding Access to Youth Mental Health and Well-Being.

The Tow Foundation is pleased to announce its 2025 Innovation Fund, a new grant opportunity for nonprofit organizations innovatively expanding access to the care and support that youth need to thrive.

The Innovation Fund intends to make grants, ranging from $300,000 to $1 million over three years, to up to 10 organizations that are improving youth mental health and well-being and serving young people between the ages of 0-25.

Please note: Due to the large number of responses we expect to receive from this RFP, as well as the limited capacity of our small staff, we’re unable to schedule calls with prospective applicants to the 2025 Innovation Fund. Instead, we encourage you to sign up for our informational webinar on May 7 to learn more and ask your questions.
