Eloquence Academy is excited to announce the recipient of a new grant from the Karma for Cara Foundation (K4C) through their groundbreaking Karma for Cara Microgrant Program.

K4C was founded in 2012 by 21-year-old Cara Becker and her family. At the time, Cara was being treated for leukemia. Cara spent weeks at a time in the hospital, which presented her with time to reflect on her life, her situation, and how fortunate she was to have such a dedicated and solid support system. Seeing the stark contrast between her circumstances and those of the patients around her, Cara began hosting blood drives in Baltimore and Chicago. Now, driven by the power of kindness, K4C has broadened their mission: developing youth into citizen leaders and preparing them to take active roles to repair our world. Their quarterly microgrants provide the inspiration and financial support needed to elevate 180 burgeoning community betterment initiatives to the next, increasingly impactful level.
“We are honored to receive grant funding from K4C,” said Spencer Chaisanguanthum, Chief Executive Officer of Eloquence Academy. “The foundation’s support comes at a critical time. As we seek to close out the winter semester strong and look ahead to the 2026-27 school year, my team and I are actively innovating and ideating on new programs. We remain ever committed to our mission and vision, and to leading the way with passion and purpose alike.”
Service Learning Fellows Erika Chiu and Ellie Kim will work to manage the grant funding, primarily dedicated to educational equity initiatives, workshops, and donation drives.
