Your help is crucial
Invest in the next generation of entrepreneurs and watch them change the world.
Becoming A Young CEO is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every program we run, every resource we publish, every event we host — it all depends on the generosity of people who believe that kids deserve access to great entrepreneurship education, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
We’ve never turned a child away because they couldn’t pay. With your support, we never will.
Your donation is tax-deductible. Your impact is priceless.
Choose Your Donation
Seed Supporter
Your $25 plants the first idea. It gives one child full access to our free Starter Kit and 4-week email program, the very first spark in an entrepreneurial journey that could last a lifetime. Includes: digital recognition on our online Supporter Wall and a personalized thank-you email.
$25
per year
Book Backer
Your $50 puts one award-winning BAYC book in the hands of a child who couldn’t afford to buy it. This is the same book used in our school partnerships and programs, the one that has changed the way hundreds of children see themselves and what’s possible for their future. Includes: digital thank-you + your name mentioned in the dedication section of our next print run.
$50
per year
Launch Investor
Your $100 sponsors one child through a complete 4-week program. You’re not just donating, you’re personally covering the cost of a young entrepreneur’s transformation. By the end of the program they sponsor, they will have learned to think differently about money, business, and themselves. Includes: quarterly impact report showing you how your gift is being used + recognition in our community newsletter.
$100
per year
Your $250 sponsors a full cohort seat in our flagship Entrepreneurship Bootcamp. You’re giving a child eight weeks of hands-on learning, dedicated mentorship, community, and a Pitch Day where they present their business idea to a live audience. This is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give a young person who is ready to build something. Includes: named sponsorship in all program materials for that cohort + personal VIP invitation to our annual showcase event + program impact report with the student’s journey.

Sponsor An Event
Put your brand alongside the moments families never forget. Our three annual events reach hundreds of community members and offer meaningful visibility for local businesses and organizations. See full sponsor packages on our Partners & Sponsors page.
Help Spread The Word
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can give is an introduction. Share our mission with your network, forward our newsletter to a family who would benefit, or post about us on social media. Every connection you make grows the community that makes all of this possible.
We take accountability seriously.
You deserve to know exactly how your gift is used.
