The Mattie L. Branch Foundation is a Not-for-Profit, 501 (c) (3), organization. We recognize the increasing college tuition and expenses and decreasing family income. We want to help. The demand for scholarships is high. Many students are doing their part in maintaining a high G.P.A., unfortunately the monies are limited to travel to the library, purchase supplies, and buy that much needed computer. We at the Mattie L. Branch Foundation wish to help students. We are limited, but we rejoice in knowing the little funds, or gifts, we award will be of some help. We need your tax-deductible contribution.

The Mattie L. Branch Scholarship Foundation understands that God has given students the intelligence to succeed, and students have the drive to succeed - but the financial responsibilities create limitations. Our goal is to assist students in sharing such financial responsibilities of a college education. We have been and will continue to be a column of virtue in Chicago’s southwest side, standing the test of time. Illustrating to the West Englewood community, for more than a decade, that education, decency, honesty, and morality can be achieved through an ethical life.

The mission of the Mattie L. Branch Foundation is to provide small financial donations and/or gifts to qualified Illinois students at or under the age of 21, enrolled and/or attending an accredited City College, Private or Public College/University to secure an A.A., B.A. or B.S. Degree.

The MLBSF program also sponsors and volunteer services for underprivileged youth: FREE Summer STEM Programs, Nutritional Programs, Reading Initiative Programs, Tutorial Programs, Agricultural Education & Art Sessions, Environmental Awareness Programs, “Back to School” Programs, as well as several Summer Outing Programs (as a means of Cultural, Educational and Social awareness).
