About April Dumas-Gray
As Director at Madonna Foundation, I bring over years of expertise in nonprofit management, program development, and college counseling to empower youth in the Chicago area. Our team is committed to enhancing access to higher education through strategic initiatives, including impactful college preparatory programs and tailored scholarship opportunities. By fostering partnerships with corporate sponsors, we have successfully organized college and cultural tours, exposing students to diverse educational and career paths. My work is rooted in championing educational equity and inspiring young individuals to invest in their communities. At Franciscan Ministries, I continue to support scholarship programs and advancement initiatives aimed at expanding opportunities for underrepresented youth. My focus remains on creating innovative, student-centered programs that prioritize academic success, college and career readiness while fostering a sense of service and leadership.
