We fund programs that have a direct and positive impact on the lives of at-risk children and youth. We are dedicated to funding programs that give children the opportunity to discover their uniqueness as individuals so that they can enjoy a full life as adults. We fulfill our mission by considering all programs that seek to improve the quality of life for at-risk children. Such programs can address the following issues: early childhood development, education, the arts, and such after-school programs that provide children with enriching activities, instill a desire for active learning and provide recreational activities. We also support prevention programs that directly affect children, including programs that by their very nature seek to prevent child abuse and neglect, sexual abuse and homelessness.
