About The George and Mary Kremer Foundation
The George and Mary Kremer Foundation was established in 1985 for the sole purpose of providing Catholic elementary schools in the continental United States with Tuition Assistance Grants for children from financially challenged families.
The goal of the Foundation is to assist eligible children by providing Tuition Grants to schools on behalf of qualified children rather than to individual families. The principals of the participating schools select the students to receive the Tuition Assistance Grants, based primarily on financial need, without regard to race, gender, nationality, citizenship, or religion.
Grants provided for the 2025-2026 school year extended to over 3,400 individual students in 370 schools, located in 124 arch/dioceses in 49 states, including the District of Columbia. Since the Foundation’s inception, more than 95,000 Catholic elementary school students have benefited from the Foundation’s tuition assistance to their schools. To date, the Kremer Foundation has awarded over $100 million dollars to Catholic elementary schools for Tuition Grants.

Thanks to the generosity of our Catholic community.
"Through donations like the George and Mary Kremer Foundation, we can continue to provide Catholic education to those who seek it regardless of their ability to pay. On behalf of the eleven Catholic Schools, the Archdiocese of Miami and the families who receive the tuition assistance through your grants, thank you!"
