The chick-a-go foundation (the "foundation") was formed with the mission that all people can disrupt their ordinary ways of being by living their authentic self-expression while falling in love with their own and other humanity. The foundation's vision is that all people have access to seeing what holds them back in life and the freedom to create a life they love. Transformational education is a formal learning methodology (i.e., workshops, classes and retreats), during which an individual explores his or her current ways of thinking and learns about new and different way of thinking. Transformational education teaches individuals how to achieve a new level of success in their personal and professional lives. The foundation provides scholarships for transformational education courses. Providing scholarships for transformational education courses furthers the exempt purpose of the foundation by giving individuals that may not otherwise be able to participate due to financial constraints

“The chick-a-go foundation (the "foundation") was formed with the mission that all people can disrupt their ordinary ways of being by living their authentic self-expression while falling in love with their own and other humanity. The foundation's vision is that all people have access to seeing what holds them back in life and the freedom to create a life they love.

Transformational education teaches individuals how to achieve a new level of success in their personal and professional lives. The foundation provides scholarships for transformational education courses. Providing scholarships for transformational education courses furthers the exempt purpose of the foundation by giving individuals that may not otherwise be able to participate due to financial constraints the opportunity to attend theses educational courses. This is the foundation's sole activity. The board of directors of the foundation performs this activity by selecting candidates to receive the scholarships and then funding the scholarships with money the foundation has raised.”
