Badu Foundation Inc

We are raising money to benefit Badu Foundation Inc, a financial literacy foundation that provides educational resources and scholarships to underserved/underprivileged youth in Chicago. My Grandfather Wilfred Jacobson recently passed away at the Age of 97. One of his core values/beliefs were that scholarships should go to the most deserving individuals. He paid for many college educations in his family so that they did not need to rely on scholarships and take scholarships from those who needed them most. This year my fundraising efforts for The Badu Foundation Inc will go to the Wilfred Jacobson Memorial Scholarship. A tribute to him that will benefit participants in our summer workshop.

Let's raise $50K over the next 100 days (2/22/25 to 6/1/25)! Your generous donation will allow the Badu Foundation to award a $500 scholarship to 100 low-income students of color ages 6-18 in our June financial literacy youth empowerment program. Let’s show our students that there is an amazing network of believers who’ve got their back! Thank you so much for your generous support.
