The Today Foundation is committed to providing quality education for students who wish to achieve their full potential. Unfortunately, many children in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods are denied access to the education they deserve. That’s where the Today Foundation comes in. We strive to prevent great kids from falling into the category of at-risk by providing scholarships that allow parents to send their kids to the private school of their choice and encouraging the creation of high-quality charter schools.
