The William V. Minor Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization serving students and families in Prince George’s County, Maryland. It was established to honor Corporal William “Butch” Minor and preserve his legacy by expanding educational opportunity and supporting the community.

The foundation awards scholarships and other financial assistance to students pursuing higher education who demonstrate academic ability, community involvement, and financial need. Its focus includes grade-school scholarships and continuing education, alongside resources intended to help students build the skills and knowledge that support academic and career success. The organization works with schools, elected officials, and community groups, and welcomes volunteers and contributions to advance its mission.

Beyond education, the foundation’s Grocery Store Without Walls Program is designed to bring fresh, nutritious food to neighborhoods facing limited access. The initiative uses a mobile farmers’ market model to help families obtain food locally. Through these programs, the foundation aims to address educational gaps, reduce food insecurity, and create lasting benefits for underserved individuals and families
