Aunt Betty is dedicated to reducing the burden of student debt taken on to pay for higher education. Our platform helps get funds to borrowers most in need.
Aunt Betty was the great aunt of our founder. As luck would have it, she was raised in an orphanage after losing her parents. In her thirties, she became a single mom. Upon retiring her Social Security check of $125 a month was barely enough to cover food and rent. So she went back to work, at Goodwill Industries. Still, she managed to stuff $20 into each birthday card for her sister’s grandkids. Aunt Betty was generous beyond her means and happier for it.
Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the strategy, management and finances of The Aunt Betty Fund. The members of our Board have in common a substantial experience in nonprofit grants and scholarships, as well as rich family traditions of service to the broader community. Board members do not receive financial remuneration.
