Honoring Our Founder

Steve Mariotti Legacy Fund

The Steve Mariotti Legacy Fund honors NFTE Founder Steve Mariotti’s lifelong commitment to entrepreneurship education by empowering NFTE alumni and supporting the organization’s network of Certified Entrepreneurship Teachers around the world. This fund will fuel an array of impactful programs and activities for alumni, such as the Founders Forum, Startup Summer, and involvement in signature NFTE events like the National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge and the Entrepreneurial Spirit Awards Gala—both of which were especially meaningful to Steve. In addition to championing alumni, the Legacy Fund will celebrate the invaluable contributions of NFTE’s dedicated educators.

The Legacy Fund will support teacher training, professional development, and awards initiatives to recognize the passion and commitment of those who bring NFTE’s mission to life. Steve cherished everyone who supported and participated in NFTE—from students, alumni, and teachers to volunteers and staff. Through this Legacy Fund, the NFTE community will continue to carry forward his unwavering belief in the power of entrepreneurship and ownership, ensuring that his legacy inspires future generations to dream big. Every $500 donated fuels a future of one more aspiring young entrepreneur.
