is Pausing...

More than a decade ago, we embarked on a mission rooted in a simple yet powerful idea: to empower teens to make a difference, one $1,000 gift at a time. Since then, VING has granted over $1 million to individuals in need—each recipient chosen by a teen-hero who spoke up on behalf of someone in their community who needed a boost. These young changemakers saw a need, used their voices, and made an impact!

To the teens who spoke up for others—you are the heart of VING. Your compassion, courage, and unwavering commitment to making the world a better place have inspired us every day. Thank you for believing in the power of giVING.

To the educators, mentors, and nonprofit partners who supported these young leaders—thank you for guiding them to look beyond themselves, for teaching them the value of community, and for nurturing their desire to help those around them.

As the VING project is being reimagined, its spirit lives on in every teen VINGer and all who championed their generosity! The ripple effect of your kindness will resonate for years to come.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue our commitment to giVING through a new initiative that empowers school principals to support individuals in their communities directly.

Stay tuned for what comes next!

Thank you for loVING VING!
