A 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization – Federal Tax Identification: 80-0025786

First-in-family college students have more than the financial burden of college. The numerous obstacles faced by low-income students could derail them from achieving college success even before they begin their first day of class.

 

 

First-in-family college students blaze a new path, charging forward without role models in their family who can guide them. Future Sacramento scholars are achieving their college dreams because of our donors’ support and the students’ tenacity and exceptional perseverance to overcome obstacles.

The Future Foundation of Sacramento, Inc. (FUTURE Sacramento) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Tax ID: 80-0025786.

 

Beyond a one-time gift for the first year of college – Future Sacramento is a robust five-year resource backed scholarship that creates a long-term connection with each scholarship recipient.
