Raymond James has announced Ready for School, a $7.5 million initiative to support Tampa Bay nonprofits that enhance educational opportunities for students.
Over three years, the program will distribute $2.5 million, annually, to 11 organizations focused on academic success, extracurricular engagement and basic needs.
Beneficiaries include organizations like the Pinellas Education Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast and St. Pete Free Clinic, which were selected for their impact on student outcomes such as reading proficiency, algebra readiness, and out-of-school engagement.
The program encourages collaboration among nonprofits and aims to expand beyond Tampa Bay.
