The Booker T. Washington High School Friends and Alumni Foundation, Inc. was foundered in December 2006 and is recognizes as a tax exempt organization under Section 501 C-3 of the Intern Revenue Code. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide financial assistance to the various academic and athletic programs at Booker T. Washington High School and to award annual scholarships and scholarship assistance to graduating seniors.
Each year, Booker T. Washington High School must manage funds in its yearly budget to finance thirty-six (36) departmental programs, activities and capital projects. The ongoing efforts of the Booker T. Washington Foundation are to make substantial contributions to help enhance their budget. We are profoundly grateful to those corporations, businesses, foundations, friends and alumni members that have provided financial support through pledges and other forms of planned giving.
Since many of the students and their families are in dire need of financial assistance; one of the Foundation's goals is to help defray the cost of testing fees, equipment, supplies and other basic materials that are fundamental to the educational development of the students. Thanks to the contributions, the Foundation has helped with the following:
 

  • Over 60 Scholarship awards to BTW Students Provided funds for SAT Testing Fees
