Overview
Larkin Street Youth Services (LSYS) provides programs that support homeless young adults in their move toward independence. Its Arts Program is one of the organization’s most important assets, often bringing in the hardest-to-reach youths. LSYS recently completed a strong strategic plan, which will assist the organization in improving their already high performance by further integrating cross-organization systems and otherwise investing in programs, staff, and facilities. In order to achieve these ambitious goals, LSYS plans to launch a $10M capital campaign, which would have direct benefit to its Arts Program and beyond. This grant will support LSYS to hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility study for their capital campaign.
