About the Woodson Foundation
The Carter G. Woodson Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for underserved youth and families throughout the Madison area. Our mission is driven by two core goals: providing community service and support to underserved families and youth, and awarding scholarships to graduating high school seniors pursuing higher education.

These goals come to life through four key program areas:

• Cultural Enrichment – Celebrating and preserving our shared heritage
• Scholarship Support – Opening doors to higher education
• Social Action Initiatives – Addressing critical community needs
• RIF (Reading is Fundamental) – Empowering early readers through literacy

Why Attend?
Your participation directly supports these initiatives. Proceeds from the gala allow the foundation to fund scholarships, expand literacy programs, provide cultural opportunities, and take action on pressing social issues.
