Stephen C Rose Legacy Foundation

The Steven C. Rose Legacy Fund (the Steve Fund) is the nation’s leading organization focused on supporting the mental health and emotional well-being of young people of color. Founded in 2014, it partners with nonprofits, community organizations, and higher education institutions to offer professional learning experiences for administrators, educators, youth development workers, police, and others who wish to increase their awareness and gain skills to support the mental health and well-being of young people of color. It also hosts student workshops designed to equip high school and college-age students of color with the knowledge and skills to maintain positive mental health and well-being throughout their life transitions and their academic pursuits. This grant supports the general operations of the Steve Fund and enables it to scale its offerings by transitioning its programming and resources to a digital platform. This will enable the Steve Fund to reach more youth, educators and service providers where they are, and help to strengthen the national infrastructure designed to meet the health and wellness needs of youth of color in this country.
