Our purpose


We believe education can break down barriers, move communities forward, and give everyone the opportunity to realize their fullest potential. Driven by our fundamental beliefs in Community, Equity, Investment, and Partnership, Helios Education Foundation exists to transform opportunity for first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students in Arizona and Florida.

Because we believe so passionately in the transformative power of education, Helios invests in partnerships all along the education continuum so that more students connect talent to potential by completing a postsecondary degree.

We Believe

Education Changes Lives and Strengthens Communities

Education is an Investment, Not an Expense

Every Student, Regardless of Zip Code, Deserves a High-Quality Education

We Will Achieve Our Mission Through Partnership and Collaboration
