The mission of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, an intellectually stimulating, diverse, inclusive, and collaborative community, is to:
Educate and nurture academically talented students to become state, national, and global leaders,
Increase access to high-quality public education in North Carolina, and
Cultivate engaged citizens who will work for the betterment of the world, through challenging programs, with an emphasis on STEM, driven by the pursuit of excellence and innovation.
Instead of providing scholarships to individuals, the foundation has set up endowments for programs and scholarships at various colleges and universities in North Carolina. It continues to grow these endowments. The foundation also funds youth development programs with which it has a legacy. Health care research and programs constitute the second largest portion of foundation bequests, increasing established funds and endowments at medical facilities, most of them in North Carolina.
After supporting those major areas of concentration, the foundation accepts grant requests from non-profit, charitable organizations primarily in Caldwell County, North Carolina. It supports a small number of national and state organizations that promote free enterprise education, but new requests in that area are discouraged. Also discouraged are requests from churches and public schools. Recognizing that needs are great and that worthy causes abound, to make the most impact, the foundation gives priority to bolstering programs already in place.
