Overview

Hestia Fund Our circle of dedicated women supports organizations that encourage the academic pursuits and passions of Santa Fe’s middle school students. Our grants support organizations that engage minds, improve confidence, provide emotional support and promote wellness. When these points come together, middle schoolers become high school ready and successfully graduate. Our Philosophy The Whole Child Framework We call our model for success the Whole Child Framework, which positively supports middle school children’s life experiences in the areas of academics, arts, sciences, athletics, health, and well-being. Promoting Empowered Students At Hestia, we believe that the social and academic needs of successful children are mutually dependent. That’s why a central tenet of The Whole Child Framework is access to strong sustained relationships with supportive adults who bring rich developmental experiences. We seek to fund programs that foster these relationships and promote empowered students.
