We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by investing in students and serving alongside local churches. Your donation grows our 2026 scholarship awards and strengthens church-led outreach as we partner with Fort Worth–area schools to identify deserving seniors and remove financial barriers to college. Our scholarships are one-time grants paid directly to the college upon proof of enrollment. Eligible applicants are high-school seniors in Fort Worth and surrounding areas with a minimum 3.0 GPA, a record of community service, and plans to attend a 2- or 4-year college, trade program, or HBCU.
In 2025, we joined Walls of Jericho Deliverance Church (Pastor John Reed), East St. Paul Baptist Church (Pastor Darrell L. Ward Sr.), Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church (Pastor Kraig L. Pullam), and Inspiring Higher Purpose Ministries (Chief Apostle Gratts) for food, pillow, and blanket drives.
Your support matters greatly to us. As we continue to face challenges on the path towards progress, your donation will play a crucial role in ensuring the success and impact of our endeavors. No contribution is too small; every bit helps us move closer to our goal of creating a society that reflects the vision Dr. King shared with the world. With your support, we will fund more scholarships for the Class of 2026, expand church partnerships, and deliver year-round, tangible community impact. As a 501(c)(3), your donation may be tax-deductible as allowed by law. Fueling scholars. Building community.
To commemorate the life and work of Dr. King and to keep his vision of a just society and beloved community alive. Through education, celebration, and service, we seek to inspire individuals and communities to embrace Dr. King's message of nonviolence, equality, and social justice. We aim to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of the civil rights movement and its ongoing relevance today, and to encourage active participation in creating positive social change. We are committed to honoring Dr. King's legacy by striving towards a world that is more peaceful, just, and loving for all.
We are committed to fostering a platform that upholds the principles of equity and inclusivity. We firmly believe in the inherent value and dignity of every individual, regardless of background, identity, or circumstances. Our goal is to create a space where opportunities are accessible to all.
Historic and systemic inequities have placed real barriers in the path of too many, limiting access to resources and opportunities. We’re committed to changes that advance fairness, justice, and equal access by directing every donation toward tangible community impact.
Join us in removing barriers and building an equitable future together.
