The Morgan Creek Foundation seeks to fund not-for-profit organizations in the communities where we live and work that provide disadvantaged children and youth the opportunity to participate in academic programs designed to help them develop the skills necessary to become a successful adult later in life and to contribute to the communities where they choose to live in their own unique way.  We believe a strong academic foundation would improve the chances for young people to expand the career choices available to them, broaden the opportunities for them regardless of those career choices, and to enhance the ability of young people to control their own destinies.
