Our Focus is Clear

The Rogers Foundation was created to advance Jim Rogers’ passion for education. It began with the launch of an inaugural gift in 2015 - the promise to invest in a college education for every student in Mrs. Vuich’s third-grade class at Reynaldo Martinez Elementary School. That pledge came to fruition in 2024.
