Where We Invest
Financial Literacy
We believe that financial literacy is the cornerstone of lifelong success. Our grants support programs that equip young people with the knowledge and tools they need to manage money wisely, make informed financial decisions, and build a foundation for financial independence. Whether it’s budgeting, saving, investing, or understanding credit, we empower the next generation to take control of their financial future.
Entrepreneurial & Workforce Development
Preparing young adults for the challenges and opportunities of the modern economy is at the heart of our mission. We fund initiatives that provide hands-on experience, mentorship, and training in both entrepreneurship and workforce skills. Whether they choose to start their own business or excel within an organization, we ensure they are equipped with the skills, resources, and mindset needed for success.
Education
Navigating the complexities of adulthood requires more than just academic knowledge. Our grants support programs that teach essential life skills, including emotional intelligence, homeownership, and personal finance. We prepare young adults for the real world, helping them to build strong, fulfilling lives, free from debt and rich in opportunity.
Aviation
We are committed to opening the skies to everyone. Our grants support education and training in aviation, including programs for aspiring pilots, airport management, and airplane maintenance professionals. By investing in these vital areas, we help diversify the aviation industry and provide young people with the skills and opportunities needed to soar in this dynamic field.
Real-World Preparedness
Education is the key to unlocking potential and creating pathways to success. The Bledsoe Foundation supports scholarships, educational programs, and resources that help students in high school and beyond achieve their academic goals. We focus on removing barriers and providing opportunities for those in underrepresented or underserved communities, ensuring that every young person has access to a quality education.
