The Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation provides inspiration, education and resources to youth, families and communities in need. There are millions of young people who have experienced hardship and unrealized potential, but are still open to seeing bigger possibilities for their lives. The Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation was created in 2019 with a belief in the power of transformative moments to trigger a spark in young people, young people who have the desire to make positive decisions in life and just need the tools to make it happen. This will have positive ripple effects on families and ultimately, on entire communities.
Launched in early 2022, the Brian Dawkins Single Parent Families Program is the Foundation’s second initiative. It provides low-income single parents in Philadelphia (additional cities to come) with nominal grants to support them in accessing further enrichment opportunities for their children. Whether academic, athletic, artistic, vocational, related to mental well being or in support of future education or employment prospects, the goal is to help them provide additional resources that might otherwise be out of reach and to break free of generational cycles of immobility and poverty.
The Single Parent Families Program will be solely administered by Caring People Alliance (CPA), a Philadelphia non-profit dedicated to reducing poverty and injustice, and is made possible by a donation from the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation. The collaboration is based on the belief that to help a child, you must support the system in which they live. Through this program, the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation wants to provide additional resources for parents who are working hard to provide the best for their children and help them get ahead in life.
