J H BUDDY RASPBERRY SCHOLARSHIP FUND

J H Buddy Raspberry Scholarship Fund is a tax-exempt private foundation (501(c)(3)) based in Houston, Texas, established with an IRS ruling in 2015. The foundation’s primary purpose is to provide scholarships and financial aid to students — historically including those entering maritime trades, vocational programs, and college/university study. The fund operates as a grantmaking scholarship foundation; its most recent publicly available tax filing (fiscal year 2022) shows it held multi-million dollar assets and made six-figure charitable disbursements in that year. The organization continues to solicit and process scholarship applications (an online application portal has been used for recent cycles), and it awards multiple scholarships each year across a range of educational programs. Program activity in the last 2–3 years includes annual scholarship competitions, documented grant payments to colleges and individual awardees, and Form 990-PF filings reporting investment income and scholarship disbursements for 2021–2022.
