Dollars for College
Kids who grow up with even a small college savings account are three times more likely to go to college and four times more likely to graduate. When you invest in a child’s future early on, they learn that college is possible and begin aspiring to attain a higher education.
That’s why we’re investing in Dollars for College, a matched savings program that disrupts poverty by encouraging aspirations of earning a degree. Please help us improve the future of our community and put local kids on the path to success.
