Funding for nonprofits is becoming more scarce and more competitive—forcing vital organizations to close their doors right when our communities need them most.

PLAN4SUCCESS refuses to let young people lose access to the scholarships, mentorship, and trusted networks that help them persist and thrive.

We are calling on our community, our ecosystem, our parents, alumni, and anyone who believes youth deserve to thrive—not just survive.

That’s why we created:

The Success Circle

500 people. $25–$100/month. Endless student possibilities.

The Success Circle is our community of monthly supporters committed to sustaining scholarships, mental wellness, mentorship, and career pathways for underserved youth.

By joining The Success Circle, you help ensure students have:

✔ Belonging
✔ College navigation
✔ Financial stability
✔ Leadership identity
✔ Network access
✔ Mental wellness
✔ College persistence

🎉 10 Years of Impact — Help Us Reach the Next Generation

Academic disparities, including low literacy and proficiency rates, reflect deeper structural inequities that require ecosystem-based support beyond the classroom. PLAN4SUCCESS complements academic instruction by strengthening the social capital, leadership skills, and support networks students need to persist and succeed.

Where PLAN4SUCCESS Comes In

We stabilize the critical transition points between high school, college, and career by providing:

• Scholarships
• College navigation
• Leadership development
• Peer mentorship
• Mental wellness support
• Professional exposure
• Accountability networks

Through our six student-led initiatives, we have:

• Awarded 237 scholarships
• Serve 350+ students annually
• Supported teens from 98 high schools at our PLAN2LEAD Teen Summit
• Delivered 900+ college-readiness touchpoints
• Built a national peer network of 30 College Success Guides across 70+ colleges and universities

Our Mission & Vision

PLAN4SUCCESS builds pathways that prepare youth for college, career, and community leadership by enhancing opportunities at the intersection of resource sharing, professional development, and civic engagement.

We don’t reinvent the wheel—we connect it to the road, equipping young people to thrive.

Your recurring support doesn’t just fund programs — it connects students to real resources, real people, and real opportunities at the moments they need them most.

Our Goal: 500 caring people giving as little as $25/month

If 500 people give $25/month, that’s $12,500 every month ($150,000 per year) — enough to sustain our six initiatives at a base level outside of grant funding.

Prefer another level?

• $25/month → 500 supporters
• $50/month → 250 supporters
• $100/month → 125 supporters

✅ Employee matching matters.
If your employer matches donations, your gift can double — meaning we reach sustainability faster.

Our 6 Student-Led Initiatives — One Ecosystem of Support

• PLAN4PROGRESS Scholarships — Covering books, transportation, and essential college needs
• PLAN2LEAD Teen Summit — Leadership, wellness, and career exposure
• PLAN2THRIVE (Mental Wellness) — Care packages and resilience support
• Success Links (College & Career) — Custom webinars and private opportunity-sharing community
• College Success Guides Network —  Peer mentors (30) across 70+ campuses
• Civic & Community Engagement — Youth-led service and leadership in action

This campaign is about stability.

Monthly giving keeps programs consistent, scholarships predictable, and support steady—so students don’t fall through the gaps when funding shifts.
