Launched in 2000, the Youth Endowment Series (YES) has provided more than $2. 8 million to over 300 nonprofits that support children of all ages through mentoring, mental health services, afterschool programs, food security initiatives, and outdoor experiences. In 2025, funding helped sustain programs focused on vulnerable children and teens, youth leadership, and family stability across Colorado.
YES Grants are one of the most meaningful ways we invest in Colorado communities,” said Annie Snead , the credit union’s vice president of community impact and Wings Foundation executive director. “Behind every grant is a young person who found confidence, stability, or opportunity at a critical moment.
Whether that looks like a student becoming the first in their family to pursue college, a child feeling safe enough to speak up, or a family finally able to focus on healing instead of survival, these grants help create the conditions for young people to thrive. For more than two decades, YES Grants have strengthened lives across Colorado, and we’re proud to continue that commitment in 2026.
” In 2025, Ent received more than 300 applications totaling nearly $3 million in funding requests. Through a competitive review process, 116 Colorado nonprofits were ultimately awarded YES Grants. Nonprofits serving Colorado youth are encouraged to apply at Ent.

Johns Hopkins announced on June 3 that its Pivot and Bridge Program — funded at $12.5 million annually since April 2025 — has been replaced by a Research Resilience Fund capitalized at $60 million per year for two years. Per-award caps rise to $250,000, divisional matching disappears, and the program now covers salary as well as project expenses. The expansion follows a 43% year-over-year drop in Hopkins's federal research awards and a $500 million decline in the value of its multiyear federal research portfolio. The structural shift it represents — universities financing the work the federal government has stopped financing — has implications for principal investigators at every research-intensive institution.
