What The Pearl Foundation does
Mission
We believe that ignorance is deadly, and knowledge is the greatest gift you can offer. We also believe that people are essentially good, and those who have extra resources through talent or birth are often moved to help others not so fortunate. Through education, we can change people's lives and make the world a better place.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
