GIVE100 Scholarship Drive is LIVE!

What is GIVE100

GIVE100 is a fundraising campaign to raise money for underserved college students to help bridge the gap of basic needs for college. In today's climate, most underserved students financial aid packages include high loan amounts and less disposable income. PLAN4SUCCESS awards scholarships to help students pay for books, transportation, and basic needs to start the school year off with the capacity to succeed!

We have an audacious goal of raising 26,000 to award 52 Scholarships, matching the total of scholarships we have awarded since 2016. There are three levels of giving that all go into one fund. 100% of your donation will go directly to the student scholarships! You can give $100 to our GIVE100 Campaign, GIVE LEGACY in honor of your loved one or make a donation of any amount to help us reach our goal.

100% of your donation goes directly to the college students!

How Do I GIVE100

Last year we asked 100 people to donate $100 in our GIVE100 Campaign. Donations will be collected until first week of July. Our ceremony is July 31, 2020! Thanks to people like the Kochheiser's who donated $2,000 and Tina Williams who donated $500 last year, helped us reach our goal of awarding 20 scholarships in 2019. GIVE100 or more today!

How Do I GIVE LEGACY

Have you wanted to establish a scholarship in a loved one’s memory? Let's honor and continue the Legacy and good name of that beloved person in your life.

For the second year, we are also accepting donations for GIVE LEGACY Scholarships where donors can sponsor a scholar in their loved one’s name.

We were appreciative of the families of Samuel Mitchell and Laquandus Marion for your GIVE LEGACY donations last year.

*All Legacy Scholarships are a minimum donation of $500 each. Your entire donation will sponsor one student scholarship.
