The Story Behind Leap Forward
We founded Leap Forward Foundation with the belief that some of the most meaningful change is already happening in our communities. Every day, organizations are creating opportunities, removing barriers, and improving lives — but many need additional resources, partnerships, and support to broaden their reach and expand their impact.
Our mission is to strengthen those efforts through purposeful investment, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to lasting outcomes. We are intentional in our contributions, partnerships, and measurements of success, so that every effort contributes to meaningful, lasting change.
We have seen how opportunity, inclusion, and community can transform lives and create pathways for people to thrive. Those rewarding experiences continue to shape our commitment to supporting organizations that share our values.
Please join us in helping to create lasting change.
A Note From Our Founder
One of the greatest privileges of creating Leap Forward Foundation has been the opportunity to do so alongside professionals I deeply respect.
Their leadership, experience, and shared commitment to serving others inspires me every day. While this Foundation began with an idea, it continues to grow through the collective efforts of people who believe in creating opportunities for others.
I am grateful for their partnership and proud of what we are building together. We believe the most meaningful investments are those that continue to create opportunities long after they are made — helping people, organizations, and communities leap forward.
