Here is today’s featured foundation.

The Dekko Foundation

Website: https://www.dekkofoundation.org/

Mission & Purpose: To foster economic freedom through education. The foundation believes that helping young people build skills, knowledge, and character will ultimately lead them to become economically independent adults.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is strictly limited to specific geographic pockets where the founder operated his businesses: portions of Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, and Alabama. They provide nonprofit grants ranging from small program support to massive capital funding. They do not have strict grant deadlines, accepting proposals on a rolling basis.

Featured Opportunity: Their focus on the "Ages 0-18 Development Pipeline" means they fund everything from early childhood literacy to high school workforce development. They are highly approachable and love to provide capacity building grants to youth-serving organizations to help them become more sustainable.

Recommendation: A youth center, community foundation, or early childhood education provider in rural Indiana or Alabama seeking general operating support or program expansion funds to teach financial literacy and independence to teens.
