We believe that every student deserves "the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation."

- John F. Kennedy

Meet the Team

We're passionate about this, because we truly believe higher education should be available to all, and the only barrier should be the effort you're willing to put in, not how much you can afford.

As a small, grass-roots organization that is determined to make a long-lasting difference for college students in our communities, we believe that our mission will resonate with people who want to empower others to succeed.

Our Goals are Simple

Raise up to $100,000 in Donations

Collaborate with local Institutions

This is about more than just financial assistance. Making a positive impact in our community requires forming lasting relationships with the right people.

Give up to $5,000 per student annually

Providing funding for up to 4 years of college is essential to making a real impact in each student's educational journey.

Guided by the Success of Others.

Other great institutions, like The CollegeBound Foundation's College Completion Program (CCP), which provides Last Dollar Grants of up to $3,000 annually alongside continuous academic mentoring, have shown that this type of financial and resource support can yield over a 24% increase in completion and persistence rates among college students in Maryland.

​Volunteering
is in our DNA

We believe there is no better way to connect with our community and build lasting relationships that matter.  Giving our time to support our neighbors is just as important as the financial assistance we aim to provide.
