Isaac Bruce Foundation

Flight 300 Program
The Isaac Bruce Foundation's Flight 300 Program provides transportation to college bound students in need. When Isaac graduated high school, he had a scholarship to a junior college in California, but he needed to find a way to get there. He was provided money for a flight and is now making that difference for students in need. The IBF launched the program in 2014. One of the Flight 300 Program students explained, "I was accepted to Yale University on a full ride but the cost to get to New Haven was more than my family could afford. The Isaac Bruce Foundation provided a way for me to get to there." The IBF has never turned away a student for the Flight 300 program. Applications are available each spring. The Flight 300 Program will cover the cost of one-way airfare, bus, or other transportation for a student with all the pieces in place to attend college but unable to afford to get there. The program also provides ground transportation to the airport, covers the cost to check bags, and provides ground transportation from the airport to campus. Because the students are generally allowed to travel with very few items, each Flight 300 Program recipient also receives a gift card to purchase essentials such as bedding, towels, and personal hygiene items.

Free Football Clinic
Each summer, the Isaac Bruce Foundation hosts a free football clinic for St. Louis area kids. The free clinic provides youth the opportunity to work on their football skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork skills, while building self-esteem both on and off the field. The clinics are open to the public. Space is limited to the first 500 participants to register. Bruce started the clinics in 2007.

Scholarship Program
Isaac started the scholarship program in 2008 and provides scholarships to students in St. Louis, Broward County, and University of Memphis annually. In order to apply for the scholarships, students must be college bound high school seniors and must have minimum cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale).

Charitable Merchandise Program
Through the Isaac Bruce Foundation's Charitable Merchandise program, Isaac donates autographed items for other 501c3 charitable organizations to use as a raffle or auction item. A donation request form can be found at www.isaacbruce.org/inquiries. Organizations return the form with a copy of the 501c3 determination letter and an event flyer to the IBF. Requests should be submitted at least four weeks prior to the event. The Isaac Bruce Foundation is honored to be able to help other charities raise money through this program.
