The Brandon Foundation was organized exclusively for educational purposes. Specifically, The Brandon Foundation is a mentoring/tutoring program where children are shown the power of their potential while supporting them academically, socially, and in faith. Our mission is to build strong, Christian leaders of tomorrow through community service and character building opportunities by celebrating diversity and striving to instill integrity, compassion, and confidence in each child. In 2013, Fort Wayne, Indiana had one of the most deadly years since 1997. Murder is just one of the many factors that at-risk children (children who are experiencing hardships such as poverty, losing a parent to crime or death, single-parent homes, etc.) are prone to if not supported at early age. The Brandon Foundation began because of a student named Brandon, who was an at-risk child due to living in a single-parent, poverty stricken home in the projects of Indianapolis, Indiana. Through acceptance into a leadership program, Brandon was given opportunities to achieve his dreams and has become a young leader in his community. After witnessing his experience, the founder of The Brandon Foundation returned to her hometown, Fort Wayne, where she knew there would be thousands of other students just like Brandon. The Brandon Foundation opened its doors in August 2013 to reach out to other young, at-risk children to protect, empower, and enrich their dreams as they become young adults. At The Brandon Foundation, students, between the ages of five to eighteen, meet twice a week for two hours and are partnered with a mentor/tutor who helps them by supporting their academic goals. Daily curriculum schedules are developed to meet students individual academic needs. Each month, students focus on a characteristic trait and community service activities are planned, preparing students become positive leaders and citizens in their communities. At The Brandon Foundation, we believe there are six key components to success for our program and our children: Family Outreach, Spiritual Foundation, Character Development, Educational Empowerment, Community Awareness, and Talent Scouting. Within each of these components, The Brandon Foundation recognizes and teaches core values to our students while showing them their potential and helping them to meet their goals. It is the goal of The Brandon Foundation to have its students remain within the program, become junior mentors to other students, and eventually receive scholarships and college funding for their future academic endeavors. Through funding from private donations and federal grants, The Brandon Foundation will work towards expanding our program by moving into its own facility, adding more days and allowing for more students, as well as creating a larger presence in the community and developing financial assistance programs for students educational futures. Since August 2013, The Brandon Foundation has raised over $275,000 through yearly fundraisers that grow our organization and open up new possibilities for our students.
