The Equal Footing Foundation was founded to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of children and adults in Northern Virginia. Together with our corporate sponsors, local government and business partners, the foundation helps fund, launch and sustain Computer Clubhouses that currently serve over 1,500 youth in six locations. Through these clubhouses and other technology-related programs, we are able to help facilitate corporate efforts to give back to the community.

"The Equal Footing Foundation serves as a vehicle through which local corporations can contribute to the education and development of area youth by supporting programs that teach and empower the next generation of community leaders."

Dan Gonzalez
Foundation Chairman

Scholarships

The Equal Footing Foundation supports three Scholarship Funds for participating Clubhouse students:

Bannister Scholarship Fund

Established by technology executive Dan Bannister in 1997 to award tuition for selected students enrolled in the George Mason University School of Information Technology and Engineering. 27 scholarships have been awarded to date.

The Equal Footing Foundation Scholarship Fund

The "Beyond the Clubhouse" scholarship fund was established to assist those Clubhouse seniors who would like to further their education. The funds can be used for tuition to technical or trade schools, associate degree programs or college of their choice. To qualify, Clubhouse seniors must show that they have excelled in school academics or projects, participated on a regular basis in Computer Clubhouse programs, and reflected good citizenship in the community and with their peers.

Computer Laptop Donation Program

This program awards laptops to students, usually high school seniors, who have participated consistently in Clubhouse programs.
