Marathon to One Million: The Next 15 Years Starts Now

The Story

We've set a BOLD goal. To ignite the potential of one million youth by 2040—starting now in our communities, and building a model of hope and opportunity that others can follow.

This campaign is our next step forward.

With your help, $150,000 will fund financial literacy programs, open doors to college through scholarships, and launch new, innovative opportunities for young leaders—fueling generational change that you'll make possible. 

It's a marathon not a sprint.

What We’ve Accomplished Together

For 15 years, the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation has been transforming lives and creating opportunity—impacting more than 113,000 youth and families across underserved communities.

  • $224,000+ in scholarships awarded

  • 6,000 students mentored in life skills

  • 1,000 youth empowered through financial literacy

  • 100,000+ individuals supported with food and health resources

  • Hundreds of students inspired through S.T.E.A.M. education

And this is only the beginning.

With your support, we can fuel the next 15 years of impact—expanding pathways, amplifying voices, and building brighter futures.

What We’re Building Now

Scholarships & Financial Literacy –  disrupting cycles of poverty by providing tools for education and wealth creation.

  • G.L.O.W. (Greatness Lives in Our Words) – fostering voice, identity, and narrative to empower young people to shape their own future through storytelling, art, and game design.

  • Power Pathway Academy – equips youth with confidence, career exposure, and opportunity—empowering them to achieve economic security, generational wealth, and drive change in their communities.

  • Community Outreach –  Get Ready Fest® and Holiday Basket Surprise initiatives providing essential support where it’s needed most.

Every contribution has exponential impact—because the earlier we reach a young person, the greater the lifetime effect.
