The foundation believes education is the key lever for individual and societal change, with research showing each disengaged young person imposes a $1.1M social cost. They focus specifically on LGBTQIA+ youth who often face discrimination from families and communities, providing not just financial support but also mentor relationships and a wider 'Pinnacle family' community. The model emphasizes empowerment and giving back rather than dependency.
