The Foundation

The DWYBF Foundation

The Do What You’re Built For Foundation, Inc. was created to work with nonprofit, for-profit, faith based and educational organizations to address the following needs: systemic, organizational and financial capacity building, parent engagement, fundraising and reentry services programs with an emphasis on self-development and purposeful and directed community re-engagement. We work with the full continuum of these organizations to “build communities one project at a time”.

DWYBF believes that by offering the necessary support to these individuals and organizations and by building a strong support network, positive changes will occur to combat and solve many of the community’s problems. Our goals and objectives are based on the principles of social entrepreneurship. In creating a coalition of various service based programs, we have combined social purpose and business acumen to exemplify a new breed: social entrepreneurship.
