Underrepresented Children- Nonprofit organizations providing support and services for underrepresented children. We believe that every child—regardless of their background or life circumstances—deserves the chance to thrive. Examples include advancing basic needs for children such as food and clothing security, providing mental and physical health programming, and creating nurturing and healthy family environments.
Pre-K—12th Grade Education- Nonprofit organizations supporting transformational education or workforce development programs for underrepresented students or children that advance career skills and talent development from pre-school through high school graduation, especially Title I schools. Examples of this include mentoring and leadership programs, soft skills, work skills development, and teacher support.
