Brad and Andrea Hall served as mission leaders for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Mexico City Northwest Mission from 2013 to 2016. During this time, they worked closely with hundreds of talented young adults, who after returning to their home countries, faced limited opportunities for obtaining higher education. Inspired by their experiences, they established the Brad and Andrea Hall Family Foundation. Initially, the Foundation provided scholarships to international returned missionaries, bringing them to the United States to study at BYU-Idaho. To reach more students, the foundation transitioned to providing online-only scholarships, allowing recipients to pursue their education while remaining in their home countries. Today, the foundation serves thousands of students around the world.
In 2021, the Hall Foundation expanded its efforts by providing Brad Hall Companies employees with opportunities to positively impact the communities where they work and live. Employees support and lift individuals by focusing on education, community development, healthcare, and combating food insecurity.
We are committed to lifting individuals through education scholarships, charitable giving, and community involvement.

Brad Hall, with his wife Andrea, served as Mission President for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Mexico City Northwest Mission. Throughout their service, they worked alongside hundreds of young adults from diverse backgrounds. Because they witnessed many return to their countries with limited opportunities, they were inspired into action.
The Brad and Andrea Hall Family Foundation emerged in 2015. Committed to providing on-campus scholarships for international returned missionaries, fostering educational opportunities and breaking down barriers.
In 2020, the Hall Foundation Scholarship expanded into an online scholarship. This initiative specifically caters to returned missionaries, offering them the opportunity to pursue online education through either BYU-Idaho or Ensign College.
The Hall Foundation initiated local projects, thereby marking a significant expansion of its impact. To streamline these efforts, a dedicated local committee was established, specifically tasked with coordinating service projects within the state of Idaho.
To enhance community engagement in the state of Arizona, we have taken the initiative to establish a local committee specifically dedicated to coordinating impactful service projects.
The Hall Foundation outlined four company-wide focuses, each designated for a quarter of the year:
Q1: Addressing hunger in local communities and globally through the “Challenge Hunger” initiative.
Q2: Facilitating blood donations for life-saving medical procedures and services with the “Blood Drive.”
Q3: Promoting an attitude of service in daily life, emphasizing both small and large acts of kindness during “Service September.”
Q4: Offering opportunities for employees to actively support causes they are passionate about through the “Giving Tree.”
In 2024, The Hall Foundation broadened its scholarship eligibility, making scholarships available to all international online students. It is no longer a requirement for applicants to have served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Volunteers in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah actively organize and execute service projects for the Foundation. Additionally, the Hall Foundation undertakes multi-state quarterly projects in March, May, September, and November & December, supporting communities across these states.
The Hall Foundation extends online scholarships to international students worldwide. Furthermore, the Halls recognize that education opens doors to opportunities, ultimately paving the way for improved employment prospects and family stability.
