| Patriots Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program |
|
|
| In 2011, the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation will provide scholarships for New England inner-city youth who may not otherwise be able to seek higher education. The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation is committed to helping students attend college and has awarded scholarships to youth across New England over the past five years through various scholarship programs. The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation is the 501(c)(3) non-profit entity created by the Kraft family to support charitable and philanthropic agencies throughout New England. This support comes in the form of direct grants, and the donation of signed memorabilia to a variety of charitable causes, and from Patriots players who offer their direct support by appearing at charity functions throughout the year.
Robert Kraft established the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation when he purchased the team in 1994 as a way for the organization to give back to the communities it calls home. The Foundation’s primary goal is to support programs that aid the youth and families of New England while underscoring the Kraft family’s deep commitment to philanthropic activities in the community. |
