About the Gordon A. Rich Memorial Foundation
Gordon A. Rich was a committed supporter of people of lesser means and limited opportunities. While he was alive, he donated enormous amounts of his incredible energy, passion and resources to help improve their conditions. The Gordon A. Rich Memorial Foundation (GAR) intends to carry on that commitment.

Recipients are chosen based on very demanding criteria, including academic performance, extracurricular activities and financial need.
