Our Mission

At The Harriett Wright-French (HWF) Foundation, we believe that every student, regardless of background or circumstance, holds the power to achieve greatness. We are committed to breaking down barriers to education by providing scholarships, essential resources, and meaningful support to underserved and underrepresented youth. Our mission is rooted in compassion, equity, and the belief that opportunity should never be out of reach.

We strive to cultivate an inclusive, uplifting learning environment where students are not only encouraged to dream — but are given the tools, mentorship, and community to bring those dreams to life. By investing in the next generation of leaders, we honor the spirit of service, perseverance, and legacy that inspires our work every day.

Together, we are building a future where success is defined by potential, not circumstance — and where every student has a chance to rise.
