Robert N Brewer Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated focus is post-secondary scholarships, and only graduates of Herrin High School or Marion High School can apply, with a cumulative grade point average of C or better.
- A charity whose work does not serve those graduates is unlikely to fit, because the filing records only one organisational grant, for project graduation, and describes no wider grant programme.
- The filing shows $852,915 paid out in total, but it gives no grant range, so it offers no guide to a realistic request size.
- Applications are accepted with no deadlines given in the filing, and the foundation provides its scholarship application form on request.
