At the Decker Foundation, we act as a bridge- linking generous donors with students in underserved communities who need support to access education.
We work closely with trusted local schools and education programs around the world to identify students facing the greatest financial challenges. These may include tuition, books, housing, food, internet access, or even a basic computer. When these barriers are removed, education becomes possible, and lives begin to change.
Our foundation ensures that your donation directly funds scholarships that meet the specific needs of individual students. Each scholarship is tailored to help a student stay in school and succeed. We maintain close relationships with our partners to verify how every dollar is used and to share the impact with you.
You give the opportunity. We make sure it reaches the student.
100% of EVERY dollar goes directly to those in need…
thanks to legacy donors who cover operating expenses.
In accordance with IRS guidelines, all gifts are subject to the direction of The Decker Foundation’s Board of Directors to ensure they further our mission. We make every effort to honor donor preferences.
