Building Beyond Barriers.Creating Opportunities.

Every child deserves the chance to discover who they can become.

We provide scholarships that give children from underserved families access to summer camps and enrichment programs — the experiences that build confidence, spark passions, and open doors.

One opportunitychanges everything

Opportunity should never depend on a family's income.

Who We Are

We don't compete with nonprofits — we multiply their impact.

Build Beyond Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring children from underserved families have access to life-changing enrichment opportunities. We believe every child deserves the chance to discover their talents, build confidence, and dream bigger — regardless of their family's financial circumstances.

Our role isn't to replace the incredible organizations already serving our communities. We partner with them to help more children participate — through scholarships, strategic partnerships, and community collaboration.

Our Mission

To bridge the financial gap for underserved families by providing scholarships that give children access to summer camps and enrichment opportunities that inspire confidence, creativity, leadership, and lifelong success.

Our Vision

A future where every child has the opportunity to attend a camp or enrichment program that helps them discover who they are and who they can become — regardless of their family's income.

Miriam Lovejoy · Founder
Our Why

She was the child who never got to go.

Our founder grew up as the child who never got to attend summer camps because her family simply couldn't afford them. There weren't organizations stepping in to cover the cost, and opportunities that many children take for granted simply weren't an option.

Now, as a mother of five, she is committed to making sure today's children don't have to miss out on experiences that can shape their confidence, friendships, passions, and future careers simply because of financial hardship.

Build Beyond Foundation was created to bridge that gap.

Camp & Youth Partnerships

Partnering with existing camps and youth organizations to open more seats to more children.

Family Resources

Connecting families with educational and community resources that extend well past a single week of camp.

Building relationships with businesses and donors who want to invest directly in children's futures.

Educational Enrichment

How We Make an Impact

One opportunity can change a child's life. A week at camp can:

Build confidence.

Introduce new passions.

Develop leadership skills.

Create lifelong friendships.

Inspire future careers.

Show a child what's possible.

Sometimes all a child needs is someone willing to say, “Yes, we'll help you get there.”

Our Core Belief

Every child deserves the opportunity to discover who they can become.

Together, we're building beyond barriers and creating brighter futures — one child, one scholarship, and one opportunity at a time.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.Mark 11:24
