Nonprofit Founders Are Cut Off From Funding In College
A Three Year Fellowship for Cohorts of 5 Nonprofit Founders
Funding
Three scaling grants: • $5,000 for sophomores • $10,000 for juniors • $25,000 for seniors
Mentorship
Two mentors each quarter meeting for one hour each month. We provide two dozen executive-level mentors throughout the course of the program, as well as financial counsel, legal templates, and grant writing support.
"TRIIBE's Mentorship Program is nothing short of astounding. With a busy schedule, I wasn't sure how much time I could give, but the ease of entry, flexible commitment, and thoughtful organization made it possible to truly support my young changemaker in a way that was both meaningful and deeply rewarding." - Jonny Imerman
Community
Each year we host our cohorts in New York City for an annual Changemaker Summit, where next-gen are the focus, not the footnote. We also host annual retreats to strengthen bonds and create space for rest, reflection, and renewed focus.
We ask, how do pathways in college create opportunities for students in high school. By improving the perception of next-gen capabilities, we inspire more students to pursue social impact.

We use case studies and quarterly surveys to measure each founder's digital presence, their sense of community and wellbeing, the impact of their organization, and the funds they raise beyond TRIIBE's grants.
Our program is open each semester to sophomores enrolled at U.S. colleges, no matter their citizenship, addressing needs in food, water, shelter, health, education, or energy.
Funding grows with each year: $5,000 for sophomores, $10,000 for juniors, and $25,000 for seniors. Awards are distributed each semester to help students scale their nonprofit impact.
TRIIBE's three-year program supports you through the rest of college, with each year building toward continuing your work beyond graduation. Afterwards, alumni stay connected, ensuring lifelong belonging and support.
