Family foundation supports entrepreneurs with a story
As deep believers in self-determination through entrepreneurship, members of the Quarles family started the foundation to support entrepreneurially-minded high-school students who don’t have access to the kind of funding, mentorship, and resources needed for a head start in entrepreneurship. The foundation is currently building a universal entrepreneurship curriculum and looking to launch a six-month learning experience that will allow its participants to launch a business.
