ABOUT The Carter G. Woodson Scholarship and Community

Service Foundation, Inc. was incorporated by the

HON. EVERETT MITCHELL, J.D.

Wisconsin Secretary of State on May 13, 1994. Its

incorporators were Charles Brown; Anthony Wade,

who served as the first president; and Solomon

23

Ashby. Four months later, the foundation received

its 501(c)(3) status as a public charity from the

Internal Revenue Service. The mission of the

foundation is twofold: to provide community

24

service to the underserved youth and families

and to extend scholarships to graduating high

school seniors who enroll full time in accredited

post-secondary educational institutions including

Alex Thompson CGW Scholarship Program Director

vocational/technical colleges. The ultimate goal of

the foundation is to help improve the quality of life

for the less fortunate in the Madison community.
