Exciting news this morning! Thrilled to join GoFundMe to ring the Nasdaq bell! 🎉   Scholarship America is honored to have an incredible partnership with GoFundMe, the ECMC Foundation, Ascendium's Education Philanthropy, Crimsonbridge Foundation and the Trellis Foundation as we work together on the Emergency Grants for Single Moms program. This initiative connects donors with opportunities to make a tangible difference in the lives of single mothers pursuing higher education.   Why focus on single moms? Because nearly 1 in 10 undergraduate students—1.7 million women—are balancing college and motherhood. For them, earning a degree isn’t just about academics; it’s a lifeline to a brighter future for their families. Over the next 18 months, we aim to provide vital emergency aid while advocating for greater philanthropic investment in this critical area.   A special shoutout to Sehr Thadhani Chief Digital Officer at NASDAQ, for her inspiring words: GoFundMe is a “market tech leader for good.” We couldn’t agree more! Huge thanks to Tim Cadogan, Margaret L. Richardson, Soraya Alexander, Amanda Brown Lierman and the entire GoFundMe team for their leadership and partnership in this important work. Great to meet new friends Geri Weis-Corbley of Good News Network, Sarah Gravitt-Baese of Feed More, Andrea Goodman of I AM ALS, Paige Carbone of MADD, Joshua DuBois of We Are Values and so many others! And hats off to Kristen Kovalesky and the NASDAQ team for a flawless event!   Here’s to creating opportunities and building a brighter future together! 🌟   #ScholarshipAmerica #GoFundMe #EmergencyAid #HigherEducation #SingleMoms #Philanthropy

This Giving Tuesday, all donations to Scholarship America are matched up to $45,000. This means your generous gift will have double the impact on our mission to eliminate barriers to educational success so that any student can pursue their dream. You can donate now at https://hubs.ly/Q02-7qmJ0
