In loving memory of Margaret Cole and Robert Kleinert
Mission
Getting an education without going into debt has become an unattainable goal for many talented young people in America today. The Pay It Forward Fund was birthed by the desire to share generational wealth not only with our own children, but with other children from our community.
We partner with Young Men and Women in Charge to create a pathway from high school into higher education: YWMIC prepares students for college, and the Pay It Forward Fund provides scholarships.
We dream of growing this fund with the generational wealth we and others have received until we can provide full tuition scholarships annually to aspiring students.
We invite you to join the Pay It Forward Fund, to share what you have with those who will shape our community’s future. A gift of $5,000 or more gives you the opportunity to add a family member to the Pay it Forward Fund’s list of foundational contributors.
Congratulations to our 2025 Winner
Lesly Guartan-Duran
