Intro
The Howley Foundation is proud to share our inaugural Impact Report with the community. Not only does it illustrate how far we’ve come since Nick and Lorie Howley granted their first scholarship 20 years ago, but it showcases some of our valued partners and how they’re changing lives.
Scholarships and education-related grantmaking for promising students of need are at the root of our work and have also led to our investment in new schools, capital improvements, workforce development programs, and in-depth collaborations. As we continue to look for additional ways to make a difference through educational philanthropy, we are encouraged by the progress being made in creating opportunities for social and economic mobility. In sharing these stories, we hope you will be, too.
