Simon Youth Foundation Receives Grant from BrightView Fund for Social Justice

Simon Youth Foundation (SYF), an Indianapolis-based nonprofit dedicated to improving the national academic dropout rate and increasing college accessibility by partnering with established public school systems, is the latest recipient of a grant from the BrightView Fund for Social Justice.

The mission of SYF is to foster and improve educational opportunities, career development, and life skills that transform the lives of at-risk youth through focused programs and initiatives with our public school and post-secondary education partners.

The $2,500 donation was presented to Andrea Neely, President and CEO of SYF. Bill Schell, BrightView’s Fishers, Ind., Branch Manager, was joined by several team members, including Account Manager Zach Binder, who nominated SYF for the grant.

“Thank you for supporting the SYF mission! We appreciate BrightView’s commitment to helping students have a brighter future,” said Neely.

“Simon Youth Foundation is doing great work for the youth of Indiana and all over the country,” said Schell. “It’s reassuring to know our support will benefit the SYF’s programming and have a positive impact on these students.”

BrightView actively engages the field in social giving and established the BrightView Fund for Social Justice to support organizations and initiatives that promote equality and inclusion in our local communities.
