The Mission:
The Bartko Foundation is a private non-profit organization whose mission is to invest in the self-sufficiency of single minority mothers.
Our Purpose:
Our purpose, therefore, is to assist those women most in need in achieving goals they have set for themselves helping, them to continue positive progress in their life’s journey. Our support focuses on goals related to education, transportation, housing and employment. We believe these areas have the most profound impact in the lives of our recipients and, therefore, our investments
