Support SRA Students
Support Students Facing Systemic Barriers in Achieving Their Dreams.
Many young people, especially those from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and underserved communities, encounter barriers that make accessing higher education challenging. Often due to circumstances beyond their control, these students take on numerous responsibilities—such as caregiving and working hourly jobs to support themselves or their families—which can impact their educational journey. Together, we can ensure that every student has access to the resources and opportunities needed to thrive.
By supporting our programs, you help provide the mentorship, guidance, and tools that empower students to pursue higher education, graduate with a college degree, and build fulfilling careers and lives. Your contributions directly fuel efforts that uplift students, enabling them to reach their fullest potential and achieve their dreams.
When you give, every dollar supports services that make a real difference, helping to create a more inclusive world where every student can succeed.
Other Ways to Give
Turn your passion into impact for students from historically under resourced backgrounds.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hitting a milestone, or taking on a fitness challenge, you can make a real difference for students from historically under-resourced backgrounds, including many who are the first in their families to attend college.
The money you raise will directly support programs and services that help students graduate from college and build their own path to success. Join us in creating a future where every student has the opportunity to achieve their goals. Start your fundraiser today and make a lasting difference!
