Hailey Becker Advisory Fund

Established 2021

 

The Hailey Becker Advisory Fund was created in 2021 by Ms. Becker to fulfill some of her philanthropic objectives. Ms. Becker moved to North Aurora when she was 5 years old and graduated from West Aurora High School in 2016. In 2020, she graduated with her Bachelor’s in Metallurgical Engineering from The University of Alabama where she also enjoyed playing the saxophone, boxing, and spending time outdoors. She is currently continuing her education at Michigan State University, pursuing a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering. Growing up in Aurora taught Ms. Becker the importance of community involvement. Since moving to Lansing, MI, she has been volunteering with a local nonprofit in a community garden and hopes to expand her involvement to youth outreach and the arts. Outside of volunteering, Ms. Becker loves to spend time with her cat, Gert and teach her new tricks.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.
