empowering under-resourced Students to flourish
All Flourish is a 501(c)3 that empowers under-resourced students to flourish by securing and sharing cash and other tangible resources directly with students to help address everyday needs, deal with unexpected challenges, and achieve their aspirations.
We believe that even a modest amount of money can make a significant, positive difference especially when delivered at the relevant moment and in conjunction with complementary intangible resources such as relationships, knowledge, and opportunity.
We believe that most nonprofits overly rely on programming and services that THEY believe are beneficial. We believe that most of the time, the vast majority of under-resourced people are better positioned than a nonprofit or the government to decide the best way to use resources. We also believe that sharing resources directly creates dignity and reinforces the sense of agency required to flourish.
All Flourish seeks donations (charitable contributions) from individuals and institutions. Through its partners All Flourish distributes these resources to individual people who meet established criteria such as income, character, and commitment to appropriately using funding.
Flourish funds in action at Backrs
All Flourish partners or invests in an ecosystem of like-minded institutions. Examples include:
Backrs recruits and equips teams of caring adults to back high potential, under resourced students including with cash stipends. Learn more about our partnership with backrs to create stipends for high potential, under resourced students.
NeighborShare partners with community organizations to meet needs of $400 or less that would otherwise go unmet, and get help when other options have run out. Learn more about NeighborShare.
GiveDirectly is a nonprofit that lets donors send money directly to the world’s poorest households. They believe people living in poverty deserve the dignity to choose for themselves how best to improve their lives — cash enables that choice. Learn more at GiveDirectly.org.
