ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The Star of Hope Foundation, a Milwaukee based 501C3 organization, seeks your help in our commitment to education.

We’re a five-year old foundation that raises funds and awards educational financial assistance, in part or in whole, to Milwaukee area primary and secondary students in financial need. The funds are given in bridge grants to enable students, recommended by their teachers or principal, to attend and participate in parochial, private or public schools without regard to age, gender, grade point average, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation or sexual orientation. The funds go directly to the school, which in turn awards educational financial assistance to the child in need.

Over the last four years, we awarded grants totaling $85,000 to 91 students from working poor families.

The Star of Hope is comprised of area businesswomen and men who are dedicated to the educational enrichment of young students. Through voluntary efforts of its members, The Star of Hope has minimal administrative costs, (less than 1%) which allows donations to directly impact the children.

We believe the working poor is a much overlooked segment of our society and deserves educational assistance whenever possible. The funds raised give the children of these families hope and tells them that someone really does care and is willing to make a sacrifice to help. We hope that you will support us in our efforts.

Please help us allow as many children as possible to "Reach for the Stars"!
