The 2024 filing also describes education, research, collaborative schoolyard design and construction, and management of the Environmental Youth Collaborative.
Among its 2024 grantees, True Skool says its mission is to engage, educate, and empower youth, families, and communities through arts and Hip Hop culture.

Other grantees describe missions that include community revitalization, health care access, connecting city residents with nature, youth employment, and environmental regeneration through community partnerships.
