Programs & Timeline
Every idea deserves a chance to become real
Open Minds Foundation creates pathways for youth to transform their ideas into reality by providing them with funding, resources, partners, and opportunities. We do our work primarily through our three programs that allow youth to develop and strengthen their projects and work with us. Program applications allow Open Minds Foundation to learn more about ways we can provide support and are open on a rolling basis.
Three Programs
Built for every stage of a project
Individual Development Program
A jumpstarter for ideas to bloom into full-fledged projects.
- Individuals receive mentorship and advisory guidance in developing their own initiatives
School Clubs & Community Projects Program
Hands-on support for student organizations and their events.
- School clubs receive resources — funding, advisory support, and guidance in planning
- Extends to short-term hosted community events
Non-Profit Organization Partnership Program
A partnership track for established organizations.

Timeline
How we work with you
Initial Consulting
The initial consulting stage is the first step for Open Minds Foundation to learn more about each individual, club, or organization's needs beyond the programs and partnership application form. A group chat will be set up between the client and higher management for efficient communication.
Strategy Call #1
First strategy call with the CEO, COO, or members of the events team to discuss logistics of projects or any resources needed in detail. Open Minds Foundation starts providing resources (i.e., funding, advisory guidance) and assisting with tasks including outreach, venue bookings, marketing, and purchases with reimbursements.
Strategy Call #2
Second strategy call with the CEO, COO, or members of the events team to further provide updates, discuss discrepancies, or curate additional marketing content. This stage is optional if it is not deemed necessary or if the project is small-scale.
Finalization
Open Minds Foundation will finalize all logistics with the client before the project launch or proceeding with fulfilling the client's needs. Open Minds Foundation is happy to further assist an individual, club, or organization permanently through a partnership, or launch collaborated events.
