Currently we serve 5,280 Exceptional Young men of color.

Our goal? Expand capacity to serve 10,000 members annually by 2030.

To make this vision a reality, we’ve launched the 10K Promise Campaign, seeking to raise $3 million in unrestricted growth capital.

When you invest in the 10K Promise Campaign, you play a vital role in helping us build the infrastructure, team, and systems that make sustained, long-term impact possible.

Your Gift. Real Impact.

Your support provides flexible funding that powers our strategic roadmap toward 2030, distributed across five core growth drivers.

Regional Expansion Readiness

Fully funding, staffing, and launching new operational regions.

Direct Micro-Grants

Providing $500+ emergency grants to keep members supported, focused, and enrolled in school when financial hurdles arise.

Mentor Training & Development

Certifying and developing IYT Mentors to continuously elevate program quality.

Data, Evaluation, & Reporting

Strengthening measurement systems to refine and scale our replicable model.

Growth Capital & Reserves

Securing bridge capital, operating reserves, and campaign stewardship for long-term sustainability.

Ways to Give

Your generosity fuels our core mission and provides flexible funding where it’s needed most.

Every contribution made to the 10K Promise Fund provides unrestricted support, allowing us the flexibility to respond to urgent needs, sustain essential programs, and enable sustainable, scalable growth so we can serve additional members. Whether you’re interested in making an immediate contribution or building a legacy for the future, we offer several meaningful ways to give.

  • Prefer traditional giving? Mail your check payable to Improve Your Tomorrow, Inc. to:

    Improve Your Tomorrow
    1901 Royal Oaks Drive
    Sacramento, CA 95815

    Note: In the Memo field, please write “10K Promise,” along with the IYT region you’d like your gift to support. (Checks received without one designated will be divided evenly across all regions).

  • Include an unrestricted bequest in your will, trust, or beneficiary designations.

    Legacy gifts safeguard our long-term stability and ensure future leaders have the resources to meet evolving community needs.

  • Recommend an unrestricted grant through your Donor-Advised Fund. Giving via a DAF allows you to maximize your tax benefits while also granting us the flexibility to direct resources where the need is greatest.

  • Donating stock, bonds, or mutual funds is another great way to support our mission. Direct asset transfers provide immediate, flexible capital to fuel our work.
