Sponsorship

Take Stock in Children is more than an opportunity to provide an education for a child, it’s an opportunity to change a child’s life forever. Invest in a child’s future, a child living in your community.

With its extraordinarily successful program developed to improve the lives of economically disadvantaged, at-risk students by providing scholarships, mentors and enrichment activities, Take Stock in Children prepares Pasco County’s youth for success.

Donor contributions are matched dollar-for-dollar by the State of Florida. That means that everycontribution,no matter the size, will be doubled in value.
