Support

The Margaret R. Baker Charitable Foundation Inc. is the official nonprofit 501(c)(3) scholarship partner of the Miss Virginia Opportunity, Inc.

Named after Margaret Baker, who was one of Roanoke's foremost business and civic leaders, the foundation is dedicated to providing the resources for the best of our next generation to succeed.

Margaret Baker’s life was marked by servanthood. She was a generous and kind soul who gave her time, efforts, and means to build up those who came after her. She dedicated decades of her life to providing scholarships for young people throughout Virginia, serving as Executive Director of the Miss Virginia Scholarship Program for 20 years. During that time, two Miss Virginias became Miss Americas and several others won scholarships at the national level.

The foundation is dedicated to preserving Margaret’s legacy. This organization awards scholarships that are payable to educational institutions on behalf of deserving young adults who are in good standing at their colleges or universities.

Scholarship donations intended for Miss Virginia contestants are awarded from the foundation directly to the schools where the Miss Virginia scholarship winners attend.
