The Foundation
The BASIC Fund is embarking on its next 25 years with a vision of sustaining our impact and expanding our reach. In 2023, we launched the BASIC Fund Scholarship Foundation, establishing an initial fundraising objective of $40 Million.
With a purpose of supporting and sustaining the scholarship programs of the BASIC Fund, and guided by the BASIC Fund Scholarship Foundation’s Board of Directors, the Foundation will strategically deploy funds raised into carefully managed investments.
