Bridge to the Future Tanager Place Scholarships

Paying It Forward

A $1 million anonymous gift is opening more doors for the children of Tanager Place.

“This is one of the ways I’m paying it forward,” said the donor. “During my youth, when I needed support, people were there for me. So I’m proud to help the children of Tanager Place in this way”.

“Bridge to the Future Tanager Place Scholarships are a window of opportunity for deserving young people, a chance to reach for and grasp long-term goals.”

Each day, with the help of generous community members like you, we make a difference for families and our region. When you are ready to put your resources to “good works,” please visit our donation page to contribute to our scholarship fund.
