A BRIEF REVIEW

April 2024

Creating Lightbulb Moments in Life

Most of us have had times when something clicks in our heads, or our hearts, revealing insight that wasn’t there just moments ago.


That’s what BRIEF—the Blue Ridge Innovation and Entrepreneurship Foundation—is all about, creating possibilities for brighter futures for our upstate South Carolina kids.


A third of young people in Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, and Pickens counties live in poverty. Thirty-three percent of students in pre-K through high school struggle to get by.

These kids are in survival mode, worried about having enough to eat, dealing with crises daily. Most don’t have a vision for what they’ll do once they grow up and live on their own.  


BRIEF’s set out to change that. The non-profit STEM organization advocates for them, providing technology, robotics and computer-science camps and classes held in schools and community centers throughout the area. Nurturing God-given gifts, the goal is to open students’ minds to career possibilities.


Programs are free and available to everyone. Food is provided, along with other accommodation needed to make participation possible.


Are you wondering what you can do to help? Do you have ideas on how our organization can impact kids from low-income families—and thrive in today’s technology-driven world? 


We’d like to hear from you.
