Mission

The foundation is laser focused on empowering communities through our three pillars of pursuit: scholarship, wellness, and investment. The foundation is purposed to shine a much-needed light in areas of neglect and fight against the ever-impending threat of gentrification which erodes the history and culture of historic communities, that were built from scraps by strong people who preserved against all odds.
