Foundations in Education, Inc. is a small nonprofit based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, dedicated to supporting Catholic education within the Diocese of Bridgeport. It was established in 2015, originating as the Bishop's Scholarship Fund, and now operates as a separate 501(c)(3) entity governed by a lay Board of Trustees. The organization aims to strengthen and transform Catholic schooling by providing tuition assistance and by fostering innovation in academic programs and professional development for school leaders. Its signature program, the Bishop's Scholarship Fund, provides tuition support for K-8 students from low-income families in diocesan-sponsored schools, serving more than 1,300 children annually. Foundations also offers a competitive grants program to fund innovative classroom initiatives and leadership development across grade levels, with the goal of enhancing long-term student learning. In early 2026, the foundation participated in its 6th Annual Golf Fundraiser, reflecting ongoing fundraising activities to support its mission.
