About
Founders Yvette Miley and Arletha Miller launched the Miley Miller Foundation, Inc., to bridge resource gaps that exist in many areas of society. Those seeking higher education often need assistance pursuing degrees at colleges, universities, or trade schools. At a time when after-school and extracurricular programs are losing support, the Miley Miller Foundation seeks to assist those programs and nonprofits that are providing teaching, training, coaching, and opportunities for all. We eliminate financial barriers by awarding scholarships, grants, and donations to those in need.
Ms. Miley is a journalist with a deep need to help people achieve their best selves through education, training, and mentoring. Ms. Miley understands that most often the limitation of achieving success lies in the lack of resources to acquire higher education and/or training. Ms. Miller’s career in social work provides her with insight that financial disparity and lack of resources are often the roadblocks for individuals to complete their educational goals post-high school.
The Miley Miller Foundation was established because of Ms. Miley’s personal mission to help individuals who desire to better their circumstances and give back to their community. In 2020, Ms. Miley shared this vision with Ms. Miller, and in partnership, the two were able to bring this vision to fruition.
Miley Miller Foundation, Inc. was established as a 501(c)(3) in 2021.
