Established in 2024, the Promising Futures Fund supports local nonprofits
dedicated to expanding access to college and career readiness
opportunities for students. At the heart of the Fund’s mission are three
core values: advancing educational equity, fostering community
connection, and promoting economic opportunity.
Grants were awarded to organizations that embody these values and
focus on key areas including college and career readiness, family
engagement, and workforce development. Promising Futures grantees are
delivering critical resources to underserved communities and helping
families build lasting pathways to stability and success.
In 2025 $442,000 was awarded to 13 local nonprofits who aligned with the Fund’s focus and priorities.
