All applicants must be IRS recognized 501(c)(3) public charities classified as not a private foundation.

The priorities of The Fernandez Pave the Way Foundation, Inc. include:

  • Educational institutions that support the underserved youth in a community.
  • Educational programs focused on increasing environmental awareness and working towards a more sustainable environment.
  • Contributing to the education and support of those requiring special attention and those with special needs in the community.

Although multi-year grants are made in special cases, The Fernandez Pave the Way Foundation, Inc.’s support should not be viewed as a continuing source of funds. We receive many more requests than can be satisfied in any one fiscal year and we do not generally fund organizations in perpetuity.

The Fernandez Pave the Way Foundation, Inc. does not fund:

  • Social Events
  • Individuals
  • Political Campaigns or Causes
  • Sporting Events
  • Non-U.S. based organizations
  • Religious Institutions (we do consider grants to organizations that are affiliated with a religious organization, but provide a service in our areas of interest in a non-denominational context).
