The Taco Bell Foundation for Teens collaborates with national organizations such as the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation and like-minded companies to join together and form an even stronger alliance to tackle the teen drop-outs in our communities.
Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation
The Foundation is also a major supporter of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by brothers Mark and Jim Wahlberg to improve the quality of life for inner city youth. Together, the Foundation and Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation are funding youth programs across the country and have launched a national awareness campaign to bring attention to the nation’s high school dropout crisis.


Boys & Girls Clubs of America
The Foundation is the largest teen program donor to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, giving more than $30 million to support teen programming since 1995.

In addition, we provide grants to other worthy programs that are designed to help teens stay in school and on the path to graduation. In 2012, the Foundation will distribute over $3.5 million to over 300 teen-serving organizations throughout the country.
