The Panago Foundation acknowledges that we are on indigenous land and that this TERRITORY belongs to coast salish tribes who were the caretakers of this land since time immemorial and will continue to be the caretakers of this land for future generations to come.
Our Mission
The Panago Foundation is an organization committed to building equity for marginalized student populations. We do this through our back-to-school supply drive and a scholarship for selected high school senior(s) from local Tacoma schools.
Our Goals
Over $15,000 in scholarship money provided to students since 2018
To provide school supplies so students have all the items needed to be successful in class
To provide financial support for selected graduating seniors that show a commitment to social justice and building equity
Our Values
We believe:
Education is a human right
That institutional racism and systemic injustices create substantial barriers for families and their students in the education system
In the power of community
We welcome:
All races
All worldviews
All ethnic, cultural, and national backgrounds
All immigration statuses
All sexual orientations
All genders
All abilities
And the intersection of these identities
