SAGEWOOD RESIDENTS’ FOUNDATION
SUPPORTING EMPLOYEES’ CONTINUING EDUCATION
In 2014, the Sagewood Residents’ Foundation offered its first scholarships to 16 recipients. Since then the number of scholars has increased annually. During the first 10 years, nearly 500 scholarships totaling more than $1.5 million have been awarded. Benjamin Franklin spoke the truth when he said, “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” Our generous residents change lives by providing these educational opportunities to our employees and their dependents. The Sagewood Residents’ Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and contributions are tax exempt to the extent allowed by law.
