Friends,

This month, something powerful happened.

Because of this community, we began paying out more than $10,000 in direct student grants—real dollars going straight into the hands of young Black, Brown, and immigrant Youthpreneurs who are building businesses, creating solutions, and betting on themselves. These aren’t hypothetical futures. These are students buying equipment, covering startup costs, and finally hearing, “We believe in you.”

That’s what your support makes possible.

As we close out the year, Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow has a bold but achievable goal: raise $50,000 to fully fund our 2025–2026 impact—mentorship, coaching, curriculum, grants, and life-changing opportunities for young innovators across our programs.

We’re a little over halfway there, and this is where momentum matters.

This is why we’re inviting you to raise your hand and join Club EOT—our recurring giving community built on one simple idea: when we show up consistently, young people thrive consistently.

What getting us across the finish line looks like.

Small monthly commitments add up to big, lasting impact.

To reach our $50,000 goal by December 31, we’re aiming for:

• 300 members at $5/month — expanding access and widening the circle

• 125 members at $25/month — our core community builders

• 50 members at $50/month — directly powering mentorship and coaching

• 25 members at $100/month — accelerating grants and program expansion

You don’t have to do everything. You just have to do your part.

And here’s something important:

👉 If your company offers a matching gift program, you could double your impact instantly. That single step could unlock thousands more for student grants—and it makes a real difference.

When you join Club EOT, your monthly support directly powers:

• EOT WORLD subscriptions and curriculum

• 1:1 mentorship and coaching

• Student grants like the $10,000+ we began distributing this month

• A future where young innovators aren’t locked out of opportunity

And to say thank you:

✨ New Club EOT members who start this month will be invited to a private New Member Celebration in Q1 2026—with gatherings in New York City and Los Angeles. It’s our way of welcoming you into the community you’re helping build.

If Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow inspired you this year…

If you believe young people deserve real support, not just encouragement…

If you’re ready to be part of a movement closing the wealth and opportunity gap—

Will you raise your hand and join us?

👉 Join Club EOT today and help us reach our $50,000 goal by December 31.

Together, we’re not just funding programs—we’re funding futures.

This is who Club EOT supports

It’s Giving Pledge Steps

Step 1: Take the Pledge — Give Forward

Make it personal.

Your pledge is your promise to give forward. Whether that’s mentorship, a donation, or amplifying someone else’s dream, it starts with a single action.

Take the Pledge and show the world what your “It’s Giving ______” means.

Step 2: Spread the Word — Toolkit Included

After you pledge, help amplify the movement!

The It’s Giving Social Media Toolkit (available on the same page) gives you everything you need to share: ready-to-post graphics, captions, and hashtags to tell your story and inspire others.

Your voice can help spark someone’s “why.”

Step 3: Lead by Example — My Story

I’ve taken the pledge myself, and it’s incredible how one small action can ripple out into a bigger impact. For me, “It’s Giving” isn’t just words — it’s about showing up, investing in others, and inspiring a community to do the same. By taking the pledge and sharing your story, you become part of a movement that’s bigger than any of us individually.
