What Every Mikkle Global Youth Foundation does

The Every Mikkle Global Youth Foundation is a Jamaica-registered nonprofit charitable organization founded in 2013 by young Jamaican students to improve the quality of life of underprivileged youth. Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica with branch offices in Miami (USA) and Accra (Ghana, operating as Every Mikkle Ghana), the foundation delivers a portfolio of recurring programs including the annual Christmas Eve Fun Day for children's home residents, the Phenomenal Females International Women's Day program, the Mikkle Master Class youth social entrepreneurship pitch competition, the We Are Because They Were and Maroon Event Black History Month programs, and recurring book, school supply, and clothing drives. To date, the foundation reports having impacted 1,783 youth across 14 countries on 5 continents through 61 events and initiatives, supported by a network of 152+ volunteers, 22 community and organizational partners, and 34 corporate sponsors. The organization is not a technology company and does not operate a proprietary platform; its core "product" is community-delivered programming.

The foundation's revenue model is donations-based, accepting contributions from individuals via PayPal.Me and Crowdrise, supplemented by corporate sponsorship and in-kind volunteer effort. There is no pricing model, no fee-for-service component, and no disclosed annual revenue. In recent years the foundation has begun developing social enterprise products (Mikkle Fire Kits Initiative, Mikkle Garden Kits) intended to generate mission-aligned revenue, though these remain early-stage. Go-to-market is community-led: the organization recruits volunteers and partners through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram), its website (everymikklefoundation.org), and direct outreach. The foundation has no parent company, no institutional investors, and no evidence of venture or private equity capital; it is led by co-founders Dr. Rachel V. Brown (Executive Director) and Wade Green (Director of Social Impact), alongside co-founder Mark Chisholm (Director of Operations) and a board of directors.
