Wilmington United Youth Coalition Sustainability Campaign Do More 24 Delaware 2025

Organization Mission:

Wilmington United Youth Coalition mission is to address social drivers of health with a prevention, capacity building, and "Community of Solutions" approach!

The Wilmington United Youth Coalition Sustainability Fundraising Campaign is crucial because it directly supports the coalition’s ability to maintain and expand its impactful work in the following ways:
Impact on Youth
  • Empowering Young Leaders: Programs like SEL curricula and prosocial activities build resilience, critical thinking, and decision-making skills among youth. Sustained funding ensures these programs reach more students and improve outcomes.
  • Alternatives to Risky Behaviors: By providing structured, engaging opportunities, the coalition reduces the likelihood of youth engaging in substance misuse and other negative behaviors.
Community Benefits
  • Strengthening Families and Neighborhoods: By fostering youth well-being, the coalition helps create safer, more connected communities.
  • Collaborative Partnerships: Fundraising supports partnerships with organizations like schools, shelters, and social influencers, amplifying resources and community impact.
Awareness Building
  • Shifting Narratives: Initiatives like “Unfaded: Caught Doing Good” challenge negative stereotypes, showcasing positive youth contributions and inspiring community pride.
  • Community Engagement: Fundraising events themselves increase awareness of the coalition’s mission and the challenges youth face, rallying broader support for prevention efforts.
DFC Grant Recipient Requirements
  • Matching Fund Requirement: As a Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant recipient, the coalition is required to match federal funds dollar-for-dollar through local contributions. This ensures local buy-in and demonstrates community commitment to youth prevention initiatives.
  • Expanding Program Reach: Matched funds allow the coalition to sustain and expand essential programs that align with DFC goals.
Volunteer-Based Operations
  • Maximizing Impact: With a volunteer-driven structure, every dollar raised goes directly toward enhancing programs and resources rather than administrative overhead.
  • Empowering Volunteers: Fundraising ensures that volunteers have the training, tools, and support necessary to be effective in their roles.
This campaign is not just about financial sustainability; it’s about sustaining hope, opportunities, and a brighter future for Wilmington’s youth. Investing in this initiative means investing in the potential of young people and the health and safety of the community as a whole.
