Education & Youth

Opening doors for young people.

Scholarships, language disorder clinics, and youth development programs that give children and young adults the chance to learn, grow, and lead.

Carlyle Poindexter Charitable Foundation
Why it matters

Opportunity begins with education.

Education is the surest path out of poverty and the foundation of every strong community. The Foundation funds scholarship programs and educational foundations that put young people from modest circumstances into classrooms, trade programs, and universities they could not otherwise reach.

Support also reaches children who face particular obstacles to learning. Scottish Rite RiteCare language disorder clinics help children with speech and language difficulties find their voice, and mentoring organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters pair young people with adults who show up for them consistently.

How we give

Consistent, not occasional.

Funds are disbursed on a fixed quarterly schedule rather than in response to appeals, so partner organizations can plan on the support. Corporate giving from the Poindexter group of companies is matched with Constantin’s personal funds, and the Foundation’s operating documents guarantee that the giving continues beyond his lifetime.
