Legacy Gives

Mission

The mission of Legacy Gives Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3, is to provide scholarships to graduating minority high school students, offer mentorship throughout their collegiate experience & giving back to our community. We take pride in providing recipients with the academic & financial resources needed to succeed beyond just their first semester of college. We strive to assist in creating a family oriented support system for each & every recipient who joins the Legacy.

Vision

My vision for Legacy Gives Inc. is to create an environment among the scholarship recipients and community of giving back and lending support to the generations following us. This will transpire through taking care of students who are recipients, but also helping mold their character to where they are pillars of their community. From the inception in Grand Rapids the other side of Michigan in Detroit, and all the way to our neighboring city of Chicago – leaving a Legacy all with every life we impact.

Current vs. Goal # of Scholarship Recipients 2023

My goal is to move from giving out 2 scholarships a year to 10 and 2023 will be the first year this will happen. Through collaboration, support, & hard work we will be able to make sure collegiate support reaches outside of Grand Rapids to Chicago & Detroit.
