Our Work

Our Beliefs

We believe a college education can be one of the most effective tools to break the cycle of poverty within families.

We believe helping First-Generation students get through college and into thriving careers has an intergenerational impact.

We believe in leveling the playing field for deserving, motivated First-Generation students who have significant financial need.

We believe in giving a hand up not a hand out.

We believe donors entrust us to be ethical stewards with unwavering integrity and relentless pursuit of our mission.

We believe directing financial gifts to your own alma mater in support of First-Generation students via scholarships and other support programs will build a grassroots effort that can help eradicate generational poverty through education.
