Since 1976, The King’s Trust has continued in its belief that every young person should have the chance to succeed. Across our global network, we support 11 to 30-year-olds in 23 countries who are facing multiple barriers to progressing with their lives to engage in education, start careers and become entrepreneurs.

The Trust’s global network of support for young people includes The King’s Trust in the UK, The King’s Trust International, The King’s Trust Australia, The King’s Trust Aotearoa New Zealand, The King’s Trust Canada and The King’s Trust USA. In each country where we work, we have already had success in supporting young women, but our aspiration is to join together to create a truly global campaign to support young women around the world.

To further these efforts, in March 2024, The King’s Trust global network launched a global women’s campaign with the goal of raising $20 million over five years.

These funds will be used to advance the economic empowerment of young women around the world as this has a transformative and long-lasting impact on themselves, their families, and their communities.
In the US, we plan to leverage these funds to:

• Establish a seed fund for female-founded businesses emerging from the delivery of Enterprise Challenge programs in US schools.
• Develop a business mentoring program.
• Achieve gender parity in our program delivery.
• Create a Development Award fund to provide grants to help young women facing practical barriers with funding for items such as laptops, childcare, qualifications, or travel.

With your investment, we can offer a brighter future for thousands of young women around the world and build a powerful global legacy for generations.
