About Us

Our Mission is to Bridge the Gap Between a Dream and Reality.

We are blessed to live in a country where brave men and women fight each day to protect our freedom. It is therefore an honor to be able to help the eligible children of Active Duty, Gold Star Families, and Retired Military Service Members achieve their dream of a college education. This is the mission of Barber Family Foundation.

Barber Family Foundation provides direct financial contributions to accredited colleges and universities to help defray the cost of tuition, books, and other fees associated with attending college. Each award is made in the name of the scholarship recipient and forwarded to the applicable college or university in the fall for costs accruing that upcoming school year.

Board of Directors

Barber Family Foundation, which is led by the President and CEO, Timothy Barber, is run by a team of professionals who specialize in raising funds and providing oversight to the foundation to ensure that as many eligible students as possible are provided, each year, with assistance in obtaining their dreams of a college education.
