About Us

The James A. Pinaire III Foundation was established in memory of Jaime Pinaire—a beloved son, athlete and dedicated teacher at Robert Treat Academy—who passed away in 2014. Jaime believed in the power of education to transform lives, and our nonprofit organization continues his legacy with its commitment to providing scholarships for students with financial need, ensuring they have access to life-changing educational opportunities.

Our Mission

Education opens doors to a brighter future. Each year, graduates of Robert Treat Academy earn acceptance to prestigious boarding and private high schools across the Northeast. While scholarships and financial aid help, they often fall short of covering full tuition.

Our mission is simple:

Bridge that gap so no student misses out on an opportunity that can transform their life.

 

We also award scholarships to Chatham High School graduates pursuing college degrees in teaching or math-related majors—continuing Jaime’s passion for education and mentorship.
