Philanthropy Rules! CONCORD FOUNDATION
A RELATIONSHIP-FIRST ORGANIZATION, CONCORD FOUNDATION GOES FAR BEYOND A CHECK TO HELP ADVANCE HIGH-POTENTIAL STUDENTS IN CHALLENGING SITUATIONS.
For high school students, scholarship opportunities are vast and varied. Some based on merit, others on need, but the common denominator is a nice check for those willing to complete an essay and a few forms. With Concord Foundation, things are a little different. Of course, there’s a financial component – what kind of a scholarship would it be without one – but arguably more valuable is the emphasis on relationships. The donors and volunteers involved know exactly who their philanthropic efforts benefit and the recipients enjoy lasting connections that poise them for future success. We chatted with Concord Foundation co-founder Peter Haugen, Head Football Coach at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota (GO GUSTIES!), to learn about the organization’s origin, impact on students, and plans for the future.
