About Childrens Scholarship Fund
The Childrens Scholarship Fund centers its grantmaking on partial scholarship awards for children from low-income families, and its recent grants show a national network built around that model. The largest award in the recent record is $767,319 to The Basic Fund in Oakland, followed by repeated support for children’s scholarship organizations in Philadelphia, Omaha, Buffalo, and Baltimore. That pattern points to an intermediary strategy: funding local scholarship funds and related education-choice partners that help families use aid for K-12 schooling options. The foundation’s work is closely tied to school choice and tuition assistance. Its active programs include New Hampshire Education Freedom Accounts and New Hampshire Education Tax Credit scholarships, alongside a broader scholarship portfolio that includes partial awards to children from low-income households. Recent grants also reach organizations such as Catholic Partnership Schools in Camden and Tri-County Scholarship Fund in Parsippany, showing that the fund supports both standalone scholarship groups and school-based partners. Across the latest grants, the foundation gives at a range that includes larger multi-hundred-thousand-dollar awards and smaller five-figure grants, with recurring support appearing in multiple years for several recipients.
