The Boiardi Foundation has distributed OVER $300,000 to advance our mission:
"Providing Opportunities to Future Leaders"
Future leaders engaged in extracurricular programs sponsored by the Boiardi Foundation (Student's name and program name are shown)
In recent years the Boiardi Foundation has worked hard to expand our direct sponsorship of extracurricular activities, which used to be called our summer camp program. While we still make grants each year to the Family Reading Partnership and Teach for America South Dakota -- two great organizations that were were special to George -- much of our growth has supported our sponsorship of individual students seeking new opportunities to learn and grow.
These students have pursued programs in a wide variety of fields spanning leadership, athletics, and academics, and we are proud to have helped them grow into the next generation of leaders.
From 7/1/2016 - 6/30/2017 the Boiardi Foundation sponsored 57 students, ranging in age from 6th - 11th grade.
