The Grant Cardone Foundation

We are looking to end the cycle of poverty for kids across the country. Our mission specifically focuses on providing support to children without fathers, as Grant lost his Dad when he was just 10 years old. Growing up in poverty and with a mindset of scarcity eventually pushed Grant to develop a drug abuse problem. It was not until Grant was in his late 20's that he finally received mentorship and guidance, which helped him to turn his life around and become the successful man he is today. Statistically, children without fathers are at an increased risk for behavioral problems, drug and alcohol abuse, and criminal activity. These children are twice as likely to drop out before completing high school, four times likely to remain below the poverty line, and 63% more likely to commit suicide. Many public schools do not provide children living in poverty with a skillset geared towards entrepreneurship, and oftentimes these children will grow up to continue the cycle of poverty that they were raised in.

Our 10X Kids Program, though in no way replaces a father figure, seeks to provide these children a way out of poverty. Many children and adolescents often grow up fostering entrepreneurial ideas, even if it is just a lemonade stand or a car washing business. However, these ideas are pushed out of the child's mind once they believe they do not possess the skills to achieve their dreams. The 10X Kids Program will show these kids that having the right mindset and skillset is all it takes to achieve your goals and more. It is our objective to provide a foundation of financial literacy to at-risk youth both in our South Florida community and around the world. We want to distribute access to the 10X Kids University program to as many organizations as possible. Our objective is to impact the lives of those in impoverished communities and permanently end the circular trend of poverty. Our program helps adolescents in marginalized communities break out of the mindset of scarcity and apply structured skills to achieve their goals.
