THE TANGO FOUNDATION

The TANGO Foundation was created to financially support educational opportunities for individuals who work in the nonprofit sector. Our “Rising Star Scholarships” are awarded to individuals who have demonstrated a pattern of success and a passion for the work they perform. These funds will support the continued professional development of these rising stars so they can be more impactful within their organizations. The TANGO Foundation’s mission is to help groom the next generation of nonprofit leadership.
