Give Something Back Foundation
The Give Something Back Foundation (GSBF) is an American non-profit whose mission is to provide mentors and scholarships that help Pell Grant-eligible students go to college and graduate in four years debt free.
== History ==
GSBF was established by Bob Carr, a former resident of Lockport. When Bob was accepted as a student at the University of Illinois, he received a $250 scholarship from the Lockport Woman’s Club. The money helped offset some of the costs of college and motivated Bob. He vowed that when he was able, he would give back to the club. Forty years later—on the organization’s 100th anniversary—he presented a check for $100,000 to be used for scholarships. Five students each received $5,000 a year for 4 years. He continued this program for 5 years, helping 25 students earn a college education.
Funding the Scholars through the Lockport Woman’s Club proved to Bob that students with drive can succeed in college with the help of existing financial assistance programs.
Fuelled by the ever-growing student debt problem and studies that suggest family wealth is the greatest predictor of a child’s likelihood of graduating from college, Bob founded the Give Something Back Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
