Partnership for the Future, a nonprofit organization focused on providing college access and success support to under-resourced high school students, recently received a $375,000 grant from the Richmond Memorial Health Foundation. The grant, which will be distributed over three years, will fund general operating expenses to support PFF’s programs.

The grant will help PFF continue its mission of preparing high-achieving students for college and career success, according to a press release from the group. The organization provides resources such as college preparatory services, workforce development, internships and mentorship programs to help students access higher education with minimal debt.

“We are proud to support Partnership for the Future in their vital work of transforming the lives of young people through education,” said Reginald Gordon, president and CEO of RMHF.

“This grant underscores our commitment to fostering equitable opportunities and improving our community’s overall health and well-being. By investing in education, we believe we are laying the foundation for a healthier and more prosperous future for all.”

PFF plans to use the funding to expand its initiatives promoting educational equity and closing the wealth gap through higher education, according to the press release. The organization plans to enhance its programs to better equip students with the tools and guidance needed to achieve their academic and professional goals.

“We are incredibly grateful to Richmond Memorial Health Foundation for their continued support and belief in our mission,” said Dionne Henderson, president and CEO of PFF. “This grant will have a profound impact on our ability to serve our students and help them realize their full potential. Together, we are creating pathways to success and building a stronger, more equitable community.”
