Give Students the Courage to Bloom
Honoring Jane’s legacy by supporting the quiet strivers, the determined overcomers, and the children who simply need someone to believe in them.
A Life That Lifted Others
Jane was a devoted wife, cherished mother, beloved memaw, and passionate educator whose quiet strength and gentle spirit touched everyone around her. She dedicated her life to serving others—especially children who needed encouragement, patience, and someone to truly see them.
Her classroom was more than a place of learning—it was a sanctuary of kindness, safety, and belief. Today, her legacy lives on through every life this fund touches.
Our Mission
The Jane S. Courage to Bloom Fund honors a life defined by compassion, humility, and unwavering dedication to others. Guided by Jane’s example, we support students who may otherwise be overlooked—the quiet strivers, the resilient overcomers, and those who simply need a chance to thrive.
Scholarships
Providing financial support to students who demonstrate kindness, perseverance, and a love of learning.
Impact Areas
Family Support Grants
Helping families navigate challenges so students can stay focused on growth and opportunity.
Camp Assistance
Sponsoring life-changing experiences like Camp TAG, where children can feel safe, included, and free to be themselves.
Education was not just Jane’s profession—it was her calling. She believed deeply in the power of learning to transform lives and worked tirelessly to ensure every child felt seen, heard, and valued.
This fund continues that mission by removing financial barriers and opening doors to opportunity. Every scholarship awarded and every child supported represents Jane’s enduring belief: with the right encouragement, every student can flourish.
