Participating Charities

The Mission Statement

To raise the bar is to set higher standards. Like many foundations, intends to use the strength, energy and resources of supporters, volunteers and donors to help those who face a personal challenge.

Unlike many, we are uniquely interested in helping those whose challenge has been made greater because they follow a new, difficult or alternative route. It could be the pursuit of health care that is not insured, or working to overcome a handicap, or a personal or family problem. We will be seeking to find and help those whose needs are not met through traditional means.

Our intention is to meet the goal of the foundation by establishing a perpetual fund to help others along the journey to recovery.

Raise the Bar Foundation is a publicly supported organization exempt from federal income tax as described in the Internal Revenue Code at Section 501 (c) (3). All (100%) of the funds raised are thoughtfully invested and grants carefully made to individuals or organizations who struggle to “raise the bar”. No administrative or nongrant related expenses are incurred. None. All revenues go directly for the purpose intended. It is the intent of the trustees to disburse funds as and when raised and not to accumulate monies in an investment account.
