Who We Are and What We Do
Right now the chances that our low-income children will end up graduating from high school are the same as whether they will end up in jail.
There are many potential solutions being discussed, and charters schools and reform movements are promising, but take time to implement. We need a solution for children in school today. The BASIC Fund is that solution.
Instead of dropping out of school, 98% are graduating high school and 92% go on to higher education.
Students are taught discipline, ethics, and study habits that follow them throughout their lives. Parents are empowered to make decisions for their family - empowered to make a difference.
