SUPPORT IMPROVE YOUR TOMORROW FOR BIG DAY OF GIVING!

Now more than ever, community support matters. This Big Day of Giving, help us build Tomorrow’s Future—a future where our brothers have the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to thrive.


TOMORROW’S FUTURE BRICK CAMPAIGN:

What if you could help build a space that changes lives—now and for generations to come?

In 2013, our founders dared to believe in a future where young men of color could dream bigger. Today, Improve Your Tomorrow serves over 4,000 youth annually—and we’re just getting started. Now, we’re building IYT’s College Success Center: a 15,000 sq. ft. sanctuary in Sacramento where dreams take root and futures are shaped.

Join our Brick Campaign and leave your legacy in this life-changing space. Consider honoring a mentor, loved one, leader, or organization—and have their brick etched in a place where hope and opportunity live.

When you donate $500 or more, you’ll be permanently recognized in our new space with:

  • Personalized engraved brick (3 lines, 20 characters/line)

  • Invitation to our groundbreaking ceremony

  • Your name on our digital Donor Wall

Champion and Keystone supporters will also be invited to our groundbreaking ceremony, where we’ll celebrate you as a true champion for youth.

Donate now to IYT’s Big Day of Giving and help build Tomorrow’s Future for our Brothers!



ABOUT:

Improve Your Tomorrow (IYT) was founded in 2013 with the mission to increase the number of young men of color (YMOC) to attend and graduate from colleges and universities.  We envision a world in which young men of color are overrepresented in higher education, underrepresented in the criminal justice system, and are leaders in their communities.

We are committed to the educational success of young men of color.  We know the systemic barriers that young men of color face do not end once they get to college, that's why IYT provides up to twelve years of wrap-around academic services and programming, so our members not only achieve their college-bound goals but are able to pursue their life-long dreams.



Mission

The mission of Improve Your Tomorrow is to increase the number of young men of color that attend and graduate from colleges and universities.

Needs

Why We’re Fundraising for Big Day of Giving:

Improve Your Tomorrow (IYT) is on a mission to get young men of color to and through college—and we need your support to keep that mission growing.

This Big Day of Giving, we’re raising critical funds to expand and sustain the life-changing programs that impact more than 4,000 youth annually across California and beyond. Your gift supports:

- Mentorship Programs

- Mental Health and Wellness Initiatives

- Financial Literacy Engagements

- College Tours and Exposure Events

- University Emergency Grants for IYT Scholars

And this year, there's a special opportunity to leave a legacy.

Join Our Tomorrow's Future Campaign!

When you donate $500 or more, you’ll receive a Personalized Donor Brick that will be permanently installed at the future IYT College Success Center—a 15,000 sq. ft. sanctuary for our young men in Sacramento, where dreams take root and futures are shaped.

Honor a mentor. Remember a loved one. Uplift a community leader.

Your brick will live in a space where generations of IYT scholars can walk, see, and feel the support that made their college journey possible.
