  GRANTSSpecial Initiatives Shaping a Better Future OUR VISION As the trusted philanthropic leader in our community, we will shape a better future through the daily practice of our guiding principles. Legacy Foundation is a strategic and active foundation. The Foundation can make a positive difference in the community through the establishment of a special initiative that address specifi c county-wide issues or needs. The Foundation’s initiative will focus on a key issue area, specifically education, where it has historic strength and funding, adding high value and making a real difference. The Foundation will have a strategic focus on education—ensuring that youth are ready to learn, and young adults and adults are ready for work and advanced educational opportunities. This focus includes such issues and strategies as: • Educational attainment • Scholarships access to education and training • Training and capacity building • Access to education and training • Out of school time educational programs • Early childhood education • Volunteer engagement (e.g. mentoring, volunteering in the classroom) The Foundation recognizes that without at least a high school diploma and good basic skills, the prospects of earning a livable wage and supporting a family are greatly diminished. Further, the Foundation recognizes that literacy and lifelong learning are essential elements to a stable and healthy community.
