Our 
Story

Franklin-Golden is the charitable arm of the organization. Created in honor of our founder's mother, Dorothy Ann Franklin. Franklin-Golden is committed to providing deserving young people with community-based scholarship opportunities to 4-year, 2-year and trade schools.  To date scholarships have been awarded to students from the following high schools: George Westinghouse, Crete Monee, Bloom, Shepard and Homewood Flossmoor.  APPLY HERE!

​

We also offer scholarship opportunities for emerging entrepreneurs through our Transcend and Grow Program, designed to support individuals as they build and scale their ideas. These scholarships are awarded at our annual women’s professional development event; the Excellence Is Required Conference.
