Where our long-term commitment began

In 2019, a structured ten-year education pledge valued at approximately $140,000 was initiated to provide sustained support for students and teachers in need. Although 39Foundation had not yet been formally established at the time, this long-term commitment set an early benchmark for the principles that would later define the foundation: continuity, responsibility, and meaningful impact through steady action.

Each year, dedicated funding of about $14,000 has been allocated to assist learners from under-resourced backgrounds and educators facing financial hardship. The pledge ensures that students can continue their education with dignity and stability, while teachers receive essential resources needed to support effective teaching.

More than a financial commitment, this first pledge became a foundational model for the work that followed. Its sustained approach laid the groundwork for 39Foundation’s mission—affirming the belief that lasting change grows from consistent support, strengthened communities, and opportunities created for future generations.
