About the AnBryce Foundation
The AnBryce Foundation is a philanthropic organization that promotes social change by building a community of global citizens through education, career, cultural, and leadership opportunities to under-resourced youth. AnBryce Foundation’s dedicated staff, board, and volunteers share a common vision of a world where young people have equal opportunity for upward mobility regardless of their circumstances.
Anthony and Beatrice Welters founded The AnBryce Foundation in 1995, motivated by a desire to cultivate young minds from under-resourced and challenging environments to lead lives of personal and professional success.
In its 25-year history, The AnBryce Foundation has enriched and transformed the lives of youth and families across the nation. The Foundation’s signature programs include the Camp Dogwood Summer Academy, Saturday Institute (SI), Student Adventures in Leadership (SAIL), Pillars of Excellence Internship Program, and the AnBryce Scholarship Programs at New York University, NYU Law School, and University of Notre Dame.
The focus of The AnBryce Foundation is to develop academic success in youth and invest in their overall potential, providing academic enrichment, leadership development, and social support so that they can realize and achieve their full personal potential.
The AnBryce Foundation is well-positioned to deepen its footprint within first-generation communities by strengthening its alignment with schools, organizations, and other groups focused on early childhood education, college preparation, and career exploration programs. Through these partnerships, we will work to help our participants develop the skills and talents they need to meet future challenges and opportunities with confidence and wisdom in this ever-changing world.
