Give Every Child the Chance to Bloom
The Jane S. Courage to Bloom Fund exists to carry forward a simple but powerful belief:
every child deserves to be seen, supported, and given the opportunity to grow.
Inspired by Jane’s life, we focus on the students who are often overlooked—the quiet strivers, the determined overcomers, and those who fall just outside recognition but never stop trying.
Our MissionWe honor Jane’s lifelong commitment to uplifting others—quietly, compassionately, and often unseen. Guided by her example, we support the underdog: the student who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
Through scholarships, family support grants, and camp assistance, we help children overcome barriers and find the confidence to bloom.
Who We Serve
The Quiet Striver
A student who works hard every day without seeking attention.
The Determined Overcomer
A child who faces challenges and continues to grow through them.
The Student Who Needs to Be Seen
Those who may not receive traditional awards, but demonstrate perseverance, kindness, and heart.
These are the students Jane believed in most and the ones we are committed to supporting.

03
CAMP ASSISTANCE
We sponsor children to attend life-changing programs like Camp TAG—safe, supportive environments where they can build confidence, independence, and joy.
04
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
We partner with schools, preschools, and organizations that share Jane’s commitment to nurturing the whole child—academically, emotionally, and socially.
A Different Kind of Recognition
The Courage to Bloom Fund was created to celebrate a different kind of success.
Not just the highest grades. Not just the loudest voices.
But the students who keep showing up, keep trying, and keep growing
Because effort deserves recognition. And character deserves to be seen.
Looking Ahead
Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, the Courage to Bloom Scholarship will begin recognizing students who embody these values—marking the start of a lasting tradition of encouragement and opportunity.
Each year, more students will be supported. More stories will be written. More lives will be changed.
