Together with our customers, in just seven short months, we’ve been able to fund more than $1 million in grants to incredible organizations supporting the mental health and well-being of young people.
Here’s how that impact breaks down:
Signature Grants
We awarded signature grants to three leading organizations making a difference:
Bring Change to Mind
Received a $100,000 grant to expand their high school club program, fostering peer-to-peer mental health support and reducing stigma across school communities.
Delivering Good
Received a $100,000 grant to provide basic needs and mental health resources to youth impacted by poverty and disasters.
Crisis Text Line
Received a $100,000 grant to help increase access to 24/7 text-based mental health support for young people in need at HBCUs.
AE Foundation Give Back Days
We also hosted our first-ever AE Foundation Give Back Days—a unique initiative where AE associates roll up their sleeves to volunteer with nonprofit organizations in their communities and provide a $5,000 grant to support their work. Through this program, we’ve been able to issue $300,000 in grants, combining hands-on service with direct financial support.
Community Grants
The largest portion of our funding was distributed through our Community Grants program, supporting organizations across US and Canada. By supporting local organizations, we were able to fund over $600,000 in grants, creating direct, meaningful change in the lives of young people in their own communities.
