Ever felt...

"I wish I could do more, but I don’t know how?"

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! That’s why we’re in this for the long term—because changing the path of just one child, one family, can create ripples that last for generations. We may not control the outcome of this genocide, but we can give these kids a chance. The same chance we once had.

How it works
The Endowment Program is dedicated to supporting displaced Palestinian students through need-based scholarships and personalized mentorship, empowering them to succeed in both their educational and personal journeys.

Fundraising & Donations

We gather support through generous donations, events, and engaging campaigns to build an endowment that can sustainably fund scholarships for years to come.

Mentorship Matching

Students are paired with mentors from our community who offer guidance and support for both their academic and personal journeys.

Pay it Forward

After graduating, we encourage students to pay it forward by mentoring future students, creating a community of support that keeps growing.
