Investing in Hope

Champion Charities’ grant making has extended beyond our original focus on brain tumor mission-based organizations. We provide funds for research and patient care in a variety of medical arenas, as well as high-impact youth development organizations. In 2021 we also launched Champion Scholars: 4-year college scholarships for high school graduates who demonstrate values that align with our mission.
