YPL is grateful for contributions from dedicated foundations and government agencies that support our work, as well as for the trust established with each partnership. Thank you to our funding partners that enable us to pursue research, evaluation, and implementation in various areas of youth-related policies.
Youth Policy Lab did over $4M of work in FY 2024/2025, with youth mental health and social emotional learning being the most substantial research area.
Our work was spread out across several areas of focus.
YPL received roughly about half of its funding from the federal government and about half from foundations.
