Our Mission
Educational Assistance Resources Network (E.A.R.N.) is dedicated to building stronger communities, one disadvantaged student and economically challenged entrepreneur at a time.
Established in 2012, E.A.R.N. is a 501(c)(3) that offers a wide range of support to individuals pursuing academic advancement, career development, or entrepreneurial training. This includes aspiring business students and entrepreneurs facing financial hardship, as well as those who encounter additional barriers related to gender, race, and other systemic inequities that limit access to opportunity. Through an integrated delivery of partner support services, our aid recipients become empowered to improve their lives—and, by consequence, the lives of their families—as they work toward their educational and entrepreneurial goals.
Gaining access to relevant academic, career, and business-focused programs—regardless of their present circumstances or the societal challenges they face—allows them to “earn” the opportunity for a better life, leading to a stronger community for all.
