Talent is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not.

Every dollar donated helps young people transform into confident leaders for the decades ahead.

$1,000 supports one fellow. This is 5x less than other paid fellowships and is 15x less than per-pupil funding in the US.

This pays for an intensive 10-week program. Fellows get 4+ 1:1 coaching sessions, weekly classes, connection to ambitious peers, 100s of articles in our growing content library, and lifelong continued support.

Fellows can’t pay themselves. We have 150+ fellows from 35+ countries. 50% are from low-income families & countries. 66% are under 25.

Give the gift of mentorship. Think of the excellent mentors you had as a kid. We provide world-class guidance for impressionable young people.

RF works. Fellows love the program. 93% say it accelerated their trajectory. Fellows have already received full-ride Ivy scholarships and have created & run organizations like these.

Education is upstream of a better world. Education is a leading indicator for strong states. Education leads to economic growth. Programs like Roote may be extremely cost-effective—every $1,000 increases fellows’ lifetime earnings 10x.

We’re just getting started. Help us grow to 1,000+ fellows, shape the future of education, and empower young people to work on the world’s most important problems.
