Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The goal of the Foundation is to equip the Next Generation of Leaders (athletes, entertainers, politicians, doctors, lawyers etc.) with the tools to be successful spiritually, mentally, and physically. In a nation where Inner-City children are often times more likely to end up in jail than they are pursuing higher education opportunities, the Devoted Dreamers Project has created a number of initiatives aimed at connecting young men and women of the future to the resources needed to make their biggest dreams a reality.

  • Devoted Dreamers equips the Next Generation with tools to be successful in the classroom. Devoted Dreamers Academy is a 7-week summer program for children entering 6th-8th grades, placing an emphasis on financial literacy, reading comprehension, physical fitness and character development, while preparing youth for the upcoming school year. Devoted Dreamers also conducts fundraising events to generate revenue for the foregoing causes. Future goals include establishing a central location camps for the Academy (2022), develop a year-round tutoring program (2022), develop a school of arts Fall program (2025), and ultimately to establish a Devoted Dreamers School (2028).

    Expenses $324,292 · Revenue $632,947

  • Devoted Dreamers also works to provide the Next Generation with tools to help them live healthy spiritual lives. Activities include Encounter, a one-night worship experience designed to help usher young men and women into the presence of the Lord. Future goals include developing a full day Encounter conference, gospel music and contemporary worship music event (2022), and discipleship and evangelism training summer camp (2028).

    Expenses $162,146

  • Devoted Dreamers provides the Next Generation with tools to help them succeed on and off the field. The goal of Devoted Dreamers Sports is to form an Elite High School Select Travel 7 on 7 Football Team comprised of some of the best athletes across the State of Mississippi. Future sports goals include hosting a state-wide flag football tournament (2023) and host the high school state Combine (2028).
