Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s stated mission is “to inspire tomorrow’s leaders by providing scholarships that support and empower students giving back to their communities.” Its programs include scholarships for graduating high school seniors and mentoring intended to support recipients, coach them in leadership and life skills, and encourage them throughout their education and beyond.
Grantmaking
The foundation’s 2022, 2023, and 2024 filings each report zero grants. Its scholarship program provides financial support to students, rather than grants to outside organizations. The foundation’s website lists scholarships of $5,000 for up to eight graduating seniors committed to service. Awards are distributed as $2,500 in the first year of school, with the remainder available in following years if the student remains in good standing. Funds are limited to books and tuition and are issued directly to the school.
Applicants must submit an online application, a 750-word essay about their service to others, an unofficial transcript through the seventh semester, and a reference. References must be completed by a teacher, counselor, faith leader, or another person with personal knowledge or experience of the applicant’s community service. The website states that service is the primary selection criterion; financial need, academic performance, and extracurricular involvement are also considered. The scholarship may be used at a college, university, community college, or qualified trade school. The website describes eligibility for Arizona seniors; other program information also includes the Colorado Springs area.
