Building Bright Futures with the Kendra Scott Foundation
Kendra Scott is dedicated to shining bright and doing good, as well as making a meaningful impact through education. Through the Kendra Scott Foundation, we work to uplift educators, underserved students, and families through scholarships, literacy and learning, and library enrichment.
Over the years, we’ve supported teachers across the country through book donations and gifted them jewelry to help them shine bright in their classrooms. We’ve granted families educational scholarships to create more opportunities for their futures. We’ve donated books to Title I schools nationwide and partnered with nonprofits to beautify libraries, knowing that an inviting learning space can enhance a child’s reading experience.
Through these combined efforts, we are proud to build brighter futures and empower lives through education. As we begin the back-to-school season, we invite you to join us in making a meaningful impact in 2023 and beyond.
