Our young people head off to college with big dreams. Their hard-earned degrees should be tickets to lives of opportunity and financial freedom. But today, a variety of barriers keep many college students from launching the strong careers they deserve. These students are less visible in the leadership of many sectors today—but we’re determined to ensure they won’t be tomorrow.
With your support, Braven helps students get the return” on their time, effort, and financial investment. Your donation will transform the lives of individuals and bolster the economic and civic strength of entire communities.
You will also help universities deliver on their promise as engines of economic mobility. By partnering with existing institutions of higher education, Braven can offer large numbers of students rigorous career preparation as part of their academic experience. Our program is data-driven, flexible, and enables universities to offer students a clear path to their dreams.
Braven Incorporated is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. We’ll send it to you upon successful completion of your donation.

Volunteers help us empower the next generation of entry-level leaders by sharing their skills, wisdom, and expertise. They build strong relationships, expanding both Fellows’ networks and their own. There are many ways to get involved—from semester-long commitments of a few hours each week to one-time opportunities.
If your organization is looking to hire new team members, consider sharing your job listing with our Fellows and alumni network. Our simple form makes it easy — provide some key information about your listing, and we’ll pass it along to our community of rising talent. With your permission, we’ll also flag the resumes of Fellows we think might be a particularly good fit.
