Ten foundations have announced that they will invest at least $200 million over five years as part of My Brother's Keeper, a White House initiative to expand opportunity for boys and young men of color.

Over the next ninety days, the foundations will design a strategy and infrastructure for coordinating their investments with commitments from other funders and the business community and identifying and scaling the most promising solutions.
