Help trusted support reach young people earlier.
When young people reach out online, a trained Peer Chaperone can be the first trusted human they meet. Funding is directed toward reaching young people earlier with trusted human connection, supported by oversight that keeps the model safe, accountable, and effective.
Youth access
Access, expanded
To more communities, schools and care.
Fund access at a population level.
Foundations, health systems, family offices and social-impact funders don't sponsor one young person at a time. They fund the trusted first connection for whole cohorts, communities and care pathways. A single funding commitment can expand access across defined cohorts, communities, and care pathways. This is where the largest, most durable impact lives.
Communities & youth-serving programs
Fund support for the young people a community organization already serves, including youth centers, faith communities, mentoring networks and after-school programs, so trusted connection is there at the first encounter.
School networks
Bring funded access to a district or school network, extending student wellbeing supports with prevention-focused peer connection that works alongside, never in place of, school counselors and clinical staff.
Healthcare pathways
Embed funded access into pediatric, primary-care and behavioral-health referral pathways, so children's hospitals and health systems can offer continued human support after a visit.
Implementation cohorts
Sponsor a defined cohort with a clear start, scope and shared measurement plan: a structured way to fund access while learning what works for the population you care about.
Geographies
Direct funding to a region, county or state where vulnerable youth are underserved, making prevention-focused support available where it is needed most.
Research cohorts
Fund access paired with rigorous, UIC-supported evaluation: a defined research cohort that builds the evidence base for prevention-focused peer support.
Sponsored, not open-ended. Funding supports access for defined youth populations (communities, schools, healthcare pathways, geographies and implementation cohorts), not unbounded public enrollment. Scope is set with each partner up front.
What different levels of funding can reach.
Illustrative tiers, largest first, read as trusted first connections delivered, not abstract dollars. They show the shape of impact across scales, from expansion infrastructure to a single year of support for one young person.
These examples are planning anchors, not fixed giving levels or guaranteed outcomes. Final scope depends on the population, implementation model, partner agreement, and approved unit economics.
$300,000: Large-scale expansion
Powers a significant expansion of funded youth access while strengthening the prevention and research infrastructure behind it: evaluation capacity, oversight and continuous improvement across multiple cohorts. Validation pending
$30,000: Expanded community access
Expands access for hundreds of youth across a community or program while supporting the evaluation and oversight that keep quality high. Validation pending
$3,000: 100 youth-months of access
Approximately 100 youth-months of funded access: a meaningful block of trusted human support for a small cohort. Validation pending
$300: One year of support for one youth
Roughly one year of funded access for a single young person: a tangible way for an individual supporter to stand behind prevention. Validation pending
Unit-economics anchor: about $30 reflects roughly one youth-month of access: a planning figure we use to size cohorts, not a suggested gift. Validation pending
More than one way to fund prevention.
From a single gift to a multi-year partnership, there's a pathway that fits how your organization or household gives.
One-time giving
A single gift, applied where access is needed most or directed to a population you name.
Monthly giving
Sustained support that helps us plan cohorts and staffing with confidence over time.
Major gifts
Leadership gifts that fund expansion and the infrastructure that keeps quality high.
Foundation grants
Program and research grants aligned to youth-safety, prevention and health-equity priorities.
Corporate sponsorships
Social-impact partnerships that fund access for defined communities and report measurable outcomes.
Planned giving Coming soon
Legacy and estate options to make youth prevention part of your lasting commitment.
Exactly where your funding goes.
We keep the path from gift to impact short and legible. Funding supports the people and the program, not layers of overhead, so partners can see what they're buying.
- Youth access: funded support for defined populations
- Peer Chaperones: training, support and supervision
- Program operations and responsible outreach
- Quality assurance and safety practices
- Research, evaluation and independent oversight
Independent evaluation, built in.
The University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) supports research, evaluation, oversight and continuous improvement for the Initiative, so funders are backing an approach that is measured, not just well-intentioned.
Evidence-informed
Approach grounded in research on prevention and trusted human connection.
Measured outcomes
Evaluation designed to test what works and refine the program over time.
University of Illinois Chicago
Research, evaluation and oversight partner. UIC's involvement supports academic rigor and a commitment to continuous improvement across the Initiative.
Validation pendingYour gift expands access, not a years-long build.
Program delivery runs on Chaperone Health's existing peer-support infrastructure. Because the platform and operational systems already exist, philanthropic support goes toward reaching more young people, not funding years of technology development from scratch.
Infrastructure already exists
Peer-support delivery, training, and operational systems are in place through Chaperone Health: established infrastructure that partner funding can extend through defined implementation plans.
Funding goes to reach
Dollars expand the number of young people who can be served, the populations covered and the evaluation that keeps it credible.
Efficient by design
Chaperone Health's intent is to provide program services at cost, so more of every dollar reaches youth. Validation pending
Fund a population you care about.
Partners can fund access for a clearly defined group, so impact is scoped, measurable and accountable from day one. The Initiative is about funded access for defined youth populations, not open-ended public enrollment.
A specific community
Fund the young people one community organization serves.
A geography
Direct access to a region, county or state.
A school network
Extend support across a district or set of schools.
A healthcare pathway
Embed access into a clinical referral flow.
An implementation cohort
A defined cohort with scope and a measurement plan.
A research cohort
Access paired with UIC-supported evaluation.
A youth-serving program
Fund a mentoring, after-school or wellbeing program.
A named initiative
Co-design a sponsored initiative with your team.
Every supporter strengthens the first encounter.
Institutional funding leads the way, but individuals matter too. A personal gift helps fund a year of support for a young person and signals that a community of people stands behind prevention.
Your contribution joins organizational funding to expand access for defined youth populations, backed by the same transparency, research and oversight.
