Diamond Awards: Celebration of Achievement

Investing in Achievement

Your beneficence to The Wake Forest Rolesville Area Community Foundation Inc. helps to support the programs, initiatives and organizations that are dedicated to the empowerment of the nation's most underserved communities, and the investment in our youth to become the next generation of leaders and achievers. It's not just a donation, it's an investment in achievement!

The Diamond Awards College Preparation and Achievement Initiative was developed in the spirit of establishing a new and bold agenda of increasing Achievement within the underserved communities throughout America. It is based on the fundamental belief that within every young man lies the potential to achieve greatness…when they are provided the proper tools, resources and support to prosper.

Sponsored by The Wake Forest Rolesville Area Community Foundation Inc.; the Diamond Awards initiative is strategically designed to increase the number of young men being accepted and attending post-secondary institutions through greater preparation and affordability.

The Diamond Awards College Preparation and Achievement Initiative seeks to:

  • Create a scholarship research database that has identified millions of dollars in potential scholarships accessible to young men.
  • The acquisition of 21st century innovative tools and resources that improve college preparation, education and readiness.
  • The utilization of social media to serve as platform and pipeline of critical information to assist youth and parents in making responsible choices and decisions regarding their post-secondary future.
  • Establishment of strategic partnerships with post-secondary institutions to develop innovative “school to college pipeline” programs.

Currently the Diamond Awards College Preparation and Achievement Initiative will be a primary area of focus in 2025.
