Our new goal for 2026 is to provide $15,000 in scholarships to youth in underserved communities in order for them to further their education at a two or four-year college, technical program, or apprenticeship. We are currently planning to award 14 $1,000 scholarships and we are actively trying to raise enough funding to award 15 scholarships. For more information about our non-profit, please see our 2025 Annual Report. For an overview of our history since our founding in 2018, check out our Financial Stewardship Letter.
