Higher Education has always been very important to me. My life turned upside down when I was 17, and my dream to attend Yale or any university at the time was broken. I know that there are many talented and ambitious young people all around the world who happen to be in situations like mine was, and if a platform like Questbridge can help those people go to their dream universities, break generational barriers, and achieve their dreams… that is a mission I want to support with all of me. :)

No one’s life or livelihood should ever be at risk because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, sadly this is not the reality for most LGBTQ people around the world. While we fight for this to change, RR rescues LGBTQ people in places where they are at danger and get them to safety. This non-profit has a special place in my heart.

As someone who comes from a country where we supposedly legalized the existence of the lgbtq+ community, I know many who suffer silently, are disowned, and kicked out from their houses, people don't even mention it to their families for lack of understanding despite receiving education. Rainbow Railroad is saving lives beyond the USA and it is not easy, if there is a way to save lives of people who do not feel comfortable in their own homes I want to help. I hope even a little bit from my end can help.

QuestBridge creates programs for talented low-income students to access exceptional educational and life opportunities.

QuestBridge has successfully shaped the lives of the most promising, low-income students in the nation and has helped them unlock billions in scholarships.

Every year, there are over 30,000 outstanding high school students from low-income backgrounds who are academically qualified to attend the nation’s top colleges. Over 80% of them do not apply to even ONE selective college and they remain highly under-represented on leading college campuses.

Many of these promising students assume they can’t afford an education at a top college. Others lack the education about what it takes to apply to a selective college, or simply assume they can’t be admitted.

When low-income students miss the opportunity to apply to and attend great colleges, this has a profound effect on their futures. Many end up reaching below their actual academic potential, or they don't attend college at all. Of those who attend college, most don't graduate.

This vast amount of untapped talent equates to a staggering loss in human potential. As America strives to remain competitive in our global society, promising students from across the economic spectrum are vital to the wealth and future of our nation-at-large.

Using innovative data methods to target and reach thousands of high-achieving, low-income students, we provide programs that help students reach their fullest potential, which could include attending a top-tier college on a full scholarship. We also provide these students with ongoing resources and a supportive community of Scholars to help them thrive in college and beyond.

We help LGBTQI people escape persecution and violence around the world. 🏳️‍🌈🌎  You can help save lives.

Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps at-risk LGBTQI+ people get to safety worldwide. Based in the United States and Canada, we’re an organization that helps LGBTQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.
