Hello, my name is Langston Logan, and I am the Executive Director of the Margaret Marie Green Scholarship Foundation, Inc.

This foundation was created to be a blessing in the lives of the leaders of tomorrow, today—as they prepare to impact our communities and the world in powerful, positive ways.

The foundation honors the legacy of my beloved grandmother, Margaret Marie Green, who transitioned from labor to reward after a courageous battle with throat cancer. Her life was marked by strength, grace, and a deep commitment to community—values we now strive to carry forward through educational empowerment.

We are currently seeking monetary support to provide scholarships for outstanding youth within our communities. Your donation will go directly toward supporting students in need as they pursue higher education and become the next generation of changemakers.

Please consider making a contribution by following the links below. Your generosity, no matter the amount, will make a lasting difference.

Thank you in advance for your support and belief in this mission!
