Join Santa Rosa Education Foundation in Making a Difference

TSIC Mission & History

Take Stock in Children, established in 1995, started in Santa Rosa County under the nonprofit Santa Rosa Education Foundation in 1996, provides a unique opportunity for deserving low-income youth to escape the cycle of poverty through education. 

What we do

We offer our students college scholarships, caring volunteer mentors and hope for a better life. Our comprehensive services start in middle school, continue through high school and include their transition into college. Our program is based on the principal that given extensive support, motivation and accountability, children will work hard to ensure that they graduate from high school and attain a college degree. We fund our college scholarships and student services through a unique public-private fund raising model, and our mentors generously volunteer their mentoring services to our children.

Program Highlights

Highlights of our results are as follows:

  • Santa Rosa County Take Stock in Children has served over 400 local students and over 21,000 children have been served throughout 67 counties in Florida.
  • Santa Rosa County Take Stock in Children has over $2 million in Florida Prepaid Foundation scholarship assets and statewide TSIC has over $109 million.
  • Santa Rosa County Take Stock in Children generates over 2,400 mentor volunteer hours annually and currently has over 111 mentors. Statewide over 1,000,000 mentor volunteer hours and currently over 7,500 mentors.
  • Take Stock in Children is funded from both the private and public sector.
