The Beneficiary

Bill and Cindy Self founded the Assists Foundation in 2006 to help provide young people access to better lives. This is accomplished by identifying areas of need and working with other community-based institutions to provide creative and lasting solutions.

The Assists Foundation is diligently seeking support to endow scholarship funds, help community-based institutions improve their existing facilities, and teach our young people how live healthy, productive lives. With the help of our partners, young people will have access to healthy lifestyle programs, facilitated by components of education, assessments, prevention, leadership, and competition. These efforts will provide new and safe places to play, as well as a lifetime of benefits for Kansas families. Our goal is to ensure that the children we are raising today have the necessary resources to be successful now and in the future. 

Scholarships

Assists is committed to building scholarship endowment funds for both Kansas City Kansas public schools and Lawrence public schools that will allow committed students to continue and complete their educational goals. The endowments will support four (4) $2,500 scholarships each year for both school districts. The scholarships can be accessed through the high school counselors and are renewable for each recipient for up to four years. With an additional 1.5 Million dollars raised this commitment will be fulfilled. The Assists schoalrships are the first four-year scholarships offered in both districts! Thank you for helping us reach our goal.

Grants

Assists strives to build relationships with organizations around the state of Kansas. While we remain committed to our long-term fundraising goals, we are also committed to awarding grants throughout the community in which we live and work. Five grants of $3,000 each are now being awarded twice annually and are based upon need and the advancement of the mission of Assists. To date, 22 grants have been awarded to some truly amazing nonprofits.
