We connect private capital to proven solutions
For children, for health, for legacy.
Our Mission
The Empower Foundation is a privately funded philanthropic foundation based in Los Angeles. We identify high-impact programs serving vulnerable children and advancing health equity—and ensure they get the resources they need to succeed.
We roll up our sleeves, invest strategically, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the organizations we support.
100% of every dollar raised goes directly to the charities we fund.
Our founder and board donate their time, leadership, and expertise without compensation.
Our Pillars of Impact
Vulnerable Children
We back programs that build identity, confidence, and resilience in children facing adversity.
Health Equity
We support innovations that expand access and improve outcomes for underserved populations.
We Pilot Breakthrough Tools in Literacy And Emotional & Academic Development
What Makes Us Different
- 100% of all donations go to the mission, not overhead
- All leadership is volunteer-based
- We connect donors with transparent, proven outcomes
- We fund with vision and follow-through
At the end of the day, it's not about what you have. It's about who you have lifted up. Who you've made better.
