Become a Monthly Donor

Calling all out-of-school time champions!

Join a community of monthly givers making a big difference with feasible, recurring donations. 

Recurring donors help fuel the sustainability of Richmond’s out-of-school time network, making it possible for youth to connect with trusted adults and continue learning year-round.

Monthly donations are some of the most impactful, as they make it easier for NextUp to plan youth program expansion efforts and budget more efficiently. Plus, it’s an affordable way to make a notable difference over time.

Popular monthly gift amounts:

  • $50 can help fund professional development training and coaching to improve program quality
  • $25 can support an hour of afterschool programming for a middle schooler
  • $10 can help provide program supplies like whisks, soccer balls, and derby car parts

Why You Should Support NextUp

Youth spend up to 80% of their time outside of school, and 4 in 5 youth in Greater Richmond are missing out on afterschool and summer programs, which help youth:

  • Explore their interests and potential career paths
  • Connect with trusted adults and peers, helping youth build social-emotional, leadership, and life skills
  • Improve feelings about school, which can lead to higher grades, attendance, and graduation rates

NextUp is expanding access to high-quality afterschool and summer programs for Richmond youth by mobilizing and equipping a network of more than 150 youth development organizations to serve youth in schools and community settings.

You can support afterschool programs established in all seven traditional Richmond Public Schools and the capacity-building, data management and reporting, and advocacy efforts needed to deliver high-quality programs where they’re needed most.
