Help fund the next generation of Black women leaders.
In 2025, nine partners helped us award four scholarships, receive 70 applicants, and bring Lauren’s legacy to the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library. In 2026, we’re doubling down. Your company can be part of it.
With heartfelt gratitude to our current partners.
When Lauren’s Legacy Scholarship Foundation launched, these partners were the first to say yes. Their investment made our inaugural scholarship class possible, and their continued support is building something that will outlast us all.

A year with LLSF is a year of real connection.
Our partners show up at the Legacy in Bloom Scholarship Celebration at the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library. They meet the scholars. They see their dollars become tuition, books, and a young woman’s first paycheck from a summer internship.
In December 2025, we honored Gianna, Sydney, Aaya, and Brooklyn as our inaugural scholars at the Legacy in Bloom Celebration. Councilwoman Tunua Thrash-Ntuk spoke. Scholars thanked everyone in the room directly. That moment is what partnership with us actually looks like.
