The Primerica Foundation turns three years old this year!
We may be only a few years old but grant funding from the foundation has made significant impact for the community by supporting a variety of nonprofits while still supporting our main mission: to support programs and organizations that help low-to moderate income people achieve self-sufficiency.
Our definition of self-sufficiency takes into account the things that move people to self-sufficiency: Education, youth development and also community and leadership enrichment programs.
