The Pedestal Fund awards up to $5,000 scholarships for students actively involved in one of our partner nonprofit organizations seeking any type of continuing or higher education, including trade schools, professional certifications, associates or bachelors degrees.

The Pedestal Fund was formed by a generous gift from Anne and Robert Waldruff to our founder, David L. Robbins, to establish a growing fund for academic and professional scholarships to Richmond area youths, in honor of Anne’s four decades plus as a Richmond public school teacher.
