Our Core Initiatives
Empowering change for a brighter tomorrow
The Carolyn “Bush” Roddy Foundation gives credence to sustainability, and it starts with the purposeful inclusion of all people in solidarity and mutuality. Inclusion is essential to building just relationships among us as we shape our collective educational as well as our community’s future.
Our mission is “To assist and promote advancement of students and organizations, within our community, to achieve more educational and public service opportunities with financial assistance.”
To enable the next generation to further their education and become leaders in our community, state, and/or community. To encourage and promote education advancement, through financial assistance the improvement of student’s way of life and for the better future of our next generation.
In summary, our ultimate goal is to give back to our community as well as a hand up and sometimes a hand-out to students and various community organizations, who consistently seek and strive to further their education, and enhance community development while maintaining good moral and confident qualities in the community. To ensure that we practice what we preach, by assisting students and various organizations to continue to accomplish their educational goals.
