- Social Innovation Fellowship
Award Year
CO-Fund is a nonprofit organization that will improve college access byfacilitating micro-donations for scholarships for college-ready,low-income students. By connecting students directly to donors throughan online “face-to-face” model, CO-Fund empowers an entirely newdemographic of donors to be able to give college scholarships:individuals and companies from students’ own communities andnationwide. Donors can make online, tax-deductible donations as littleas $20, helping deserving students close the gap in paying for theircollege tuition. We strongly believe that helping a student attendcollege provides an essential benefit not only to the student, but alsoto society as a whole. A student who attends and completes a four-yearcollege has a huge potential to contribute to society. One donor’ssmall investment has the ability to grow exponentially in its impact–twenty dollars could be all it takes to launch a future leader on hisorher path to success!
