Strong Hands, Strong Minds, Loving Hearts
The mission of the Donald Driver Foundation is to serve as a hand-up, not a hand out. For 25 years, the Donald Driver Foundation has been committed to transforming lives by providing educational opportunities, health and wellness resources, workforce development initiatives, and community support programs that help children and families reach their full potential.
Since 2001, the Donald Driver Foundation has led the effort to serve thousands across the country implementing initiatives like our Turkey Trot Food Program, Back to School and scholarship programs, as well as providing mentoring through our work with Goodwill Industries workforce development .
Inspired by Donald Driver's journey from homelessness to becoming a Super Bowl Champion, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, our mission is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to succeed. Donald continues to showcase his desire to give back by making extraordinary differences in his communities through the Donald Driver Foundation.
Today, the Foundation works to remove barriers and create opportunities for children and families through education, health and wellness, youth development, and community support. From scholarships and educational resources to sports, mentorship, and experiences that inspire confidence, the Foundation is committed to helping young people recognize their potential and build brighter futures.
Donald believes that every child deserves to be seen, supported, and given the chance to succeed.
His journey may have started with a dream of playing professional football, but his purpose extends far beyond the game. It is about creating opportunities that can change a life and helping the next generation believe that their future is limitless.
