What will the Nancy V. Perry Take Stock Legacy Fund do?
The goal is to raise $2.5 Million dollars in 5 years so that 25 new students annually could escape the cycle of poverty through post-secondary achievement in perpetuity. Every $5,000 provides a student with a Florida Prepaid Scholarship and six years of services! These services include college tours, career exploration, financial literacy workshops, and more. Take Stock in Children breaks the cycle of poverty by providing a pathway for low-income, at-risk students to stay in school, graduate from high school, and receive a college scholarship.
How will YOUR donation support future students?
Your contribution to this fund will help support students. By donating to this fund, you will provide hope, empowerment, and maximize the potential of students in our Take Stock in Children program by providing new eligible students with one-on-one mentorship and college readiness services to ensure they reach their goal of obtaining a post-secondary education. Your donations will help secure a college scholarship for these students as well as provide them the academic support they need to successfully graduate from high school.
