Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Human Service Organizations, Human Services

Mission: We disrupt the social norm to spark the potential greatness of kids and their community. Scott Foundation provides programs and service FREE of cost to kids in the Arizona foster care system and At-Risk youth. We believe in making the world a more peaceful and loving place by inspiring children to make better choices through selfless service. We do this by providing an evidence-based educational program that focuses on heart-based learning through creative life skills, peace-building and selfless service. The curriculum involves intentional learning through inspiring selfless experiences that give children and the adults that work with them an opportunity to connect, on multiple occasions, with their inner values and live a more joyful life of civic responsibility and selfless service.

I was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a Scott Foundation selfless service project for a local 6th grade class. The experience exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Colleen asked these 11 & 12 year olds to think in such a deep and empathetic way that I didn't think kids this age were even capable of. I was WRONG! I wish more people could be a witness to such selflessness. Scott Foundation and these 6th grade students have given me hope for the next generation.

Scott Foundation is a marvelous organization whose goal of encouraging children to grow into tomorrow's leaders and service providers is exemplary. Scott Foundation has chosen Arizona Golden Rescue as one of 12 Causes for Consideration because of AGR's excellent volunteer work in the Phoenix Metro area and throughout the state of Arizona. We appreciate their acknowledgment of our volunteer efforts.

The Scott Foundation is paving the way to transform our youth into influential people in our society. The programs offered highlight important values that are often missing in our education system.

When I first met CEO, Colleen, I was incredibly inspired by her passion and vision to improve our education system through a program focused on developing leaders through selfless service. I was also impressed by her professionalism and willingness to collaborate with other organizations. She is friendly, organized, and driven.

I look forward to seeing the Scott Foundation spread its impact throughout Maricopa County and beyond.

The Scott Foundation is a heart-lead organization that touches lives in the community by raising awareness of other non-profits, highlighting needs in communities and then leading children (and the adults in their lives) to become aware of needs, often right in their neighborhoods. It is heart-warming to observe the children (and the adults who serve them) awaken to the possibilities that lie within their own hearts and awaken to the importance of leadership through selfless service.
