OUR PURPOSE

Established in 2003, the Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation aims to carry on some of Mink's most ardent commitments: educational access, opportunity, and equity for low-income women, especially mothers; and educational enrichment for children. In 2020, the Foundation plans to award five (5) Education Support Awards of up to $5000 each to assist low-income women with children who are pursuing post-secondary education.  Visit the More about Patsy Mink page and the Education Support Award page to learn more about the Patsy and about the annual award process.
