Dr. Teresa Prendergast Foundation for Children

The primary objective of the Dr. Teresa Prendergast Foundation is to generate and allocate resources aimed at assisting children who lack access to high-quality education.

Parents or guardians will be encouraged to apply for financial support that may be utilized towards tuition, textbooks, school supplies, and other vital resources that facilitate a robust educational experience. The Foundation will grant this assistance to deserving children based on criteria such as financial need, academic performance, character, diversity, and other significant factors. The size and frequency of such financial aid will be determined by the Foundation's available funds.

The Foundation will perpetuate the legacy and continue the commendable work of the late Dr. Teresa Prendergast, a revered figure in New York's educational community. Dr. Prendergast tragically passed away from a ruptured brain aneurysm on June 10th, 2023. The establishment and operation of the Foundation have been entrusted to her family to ensure that her enduring legacy continues to positively impact the lives of children for many more years to come.

The Dr. Teresa Prendergast Foundation proudly stands as a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, ensuring that your generous contributions are fully tax-deductible. Every dollar raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be meticulously directed to the foundation, bolstering our mission and amplifying our impact in the community.
