Four barriers. Four programs.
Each of our programs removes one specific obstacle between a child and the support they need. We are launching them in phases so that we grow only as fast as we can deliver well.
Learning Access
Launching 2026Who it serves
Students in grades K–12 from households at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, referred by school counselors, community partners, or direct family application.
How it works
The Foundation pays for tutoring and academic support directly to a qualified instructor or program. The family pays nothing. Sessions focus on reading fluency, math foundations, and study skills, matched to what the student actually needs rather than a fixed curriculum.
What changes
A student who was falling behind gets consistent, qualified help before the gap becomes permanent. We measure progress through pre- and post-program assessment, and we report those outcomes publicly rather than counting sessions delivered.
Developmental Screening Fund
Launching 2026Who it serves
Children from birth through age 12 whose families are uninsured or underinsured, or who face public waitlists longer than 90 days for developmental evaluation.
How it works
The Foundation covers the cost of speech, occupational, and general developmental screenings performed by licensed providers. We pay the provider directly. Where a screening identifies a need, we help the family connect to ongoing care and, where possible, fund the first phase of it.
What changes
Early intervention works, and it is time-sensitive. Removing the cost and the wait means a child gets evaluated during the years when support changes a trajectory instead of managing a diagnosis later.
Family Navigation
Launching 2027Who it serves
Parents and caregivers who are trying to access school or health services for their child, with particular focus on immigrant and refugee families and those for whom English is a second language.
How it works
One-on-one guidance through the systems that decide whether a child gets support: requesting a school evaluation, understanding an IEP or 504 plan, appealing an insurance denial, and finding community health resources. Support is offered in multiple languages.
What changes
Services that already exist go unused because families do not know they exist or cannot navigate the paperwork to reach them. Navigation converts an entitlement on paper into actual help for a child.
Enrichment Scholarships
Launching 2027Who it serves
Children from low-income households who would otherwise spend school breaks without access to structured learning or enrichment.
How it works
Full scholarships placing children in summer learning, STEM, reading, and arts programs run by vetted community providers. The Foundation pays tuition directly and, where transportation is the barrier, covers that too.
What changes
Summer learning loss is measurable and cumulative, and it falls hardest on the students who can least afford it. Keeping children engaged over the break protects the gains they made during the year.
Honest about where we are.
Discovery Hub Foundation received its 501(c)(3) determination in June 2026. We are in our first fiscal year, building funding capacity before we open program applications.
We will publish program launch dates, eligibility criteria, and application instructions on this page as each program opens. Our first Form 990 filing covering fiscal year 2026 will be posted to our transparency page after it is filed in 2027.
