Fueling Schools
Building Youth
We invest flexible funding into food, family engagement, and school-led programs that remove barriers to learning and help students thrive.
Access to resources determines what schools can offer—and what young people can become.
Whole‑child, community‑centered support
We fund solutions honoring students’ mental, emotional, and physical health, helping schools build community environments that foster connection and opportunity—not short‑term fixes.
Family & culturally responsive engagement
We prioritize food and culturally meaningful support as entry points to engage families, remove barriers to participation, and measure impact with clear metrics.
Teacher‑led, flexible grants for urgent needs
Run by educators, our grants trust teacher expertise to fund practical operational needs that district budgets and traditional grants miss—so schools can act fast when students need it.

FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Meet Faith
Faith Arthur is a Title I educator, community advocate, and nonprofit founder who created B.Y. Funding to solve a problem she saw every day: schools knowing what students need but lacking the flexible funding to make it happen.
After years of planning family engagement events, fundraising for her own classroom, and supporting families directly, Faith built B.Y. Funding to move resources into schools with speed, dignity, and trust. Her work bridges classroom reality and community power, ensuring educators are supported and families are welcomed as partners in learning.
B.Y. Funding is rooted in lived experience and driven by the belief that when schools are resourced, communities rise.

Join the movement
Every child deserves access to opportunities that help them learn, grow, and feel confident walking into the classroom. At B.Y. Funding, we believe schools and families should never have to navigate those needs alone. Through direct support, community partnerships, and purpose-driven fundraising, we help remove barriers so students can thrive with dignity and support behind them.
When you support B.Y. Funding, you’re helping provide real resources for real families — from school uniforms and classroom needs to meaningful experiences that strengthen school communities. Join the movement and help us continue building a future where access, equity, and opportunity are within reach for every child.
