For over 40 years POISE has been serving the Black community by making hundreds of grants to worthy organizations, providing thousands of scholarships to deserving Black students and acting as a philanthropic leader and resource in our community.
Any great organization is made up of a great team.
THE THERESA AND ALLEN THOMAS BIPOC EDUCATION FUND - We created this Fund with the intended purpose of assisting, primarily, African Americans, but also Indigenous Peoples and other People of Color with the ever-rising cost of funding education. This assistance will initially focus on Veterinary Students matriculating at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
THE DR. MILTON ALLEN AND JERRY ANN ALLEN FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP FUND - Jerry Ann and her husband Milton have been empowered to serve the community with spiritual gifts as well as help address the shortage of nurses by providing scholarship through POISE Foundation for African American students interested in nursing.
THE WORLD CHANGERS FUND - It is my passion to get urban youth to see the world. POISE helped me think more strategically about the ways I can leverage my passions and network to provide sustained funding. Now, I am a philanthropist, supporting international educational opportunities for urban youth.
If you wish to make an impact through charitable giving, you can establish a fund with POISE to address your areas of interest.
