#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Donating to the D’Andre D Lampkin Foundation for #GivingTuesday is crucial because it makes a tangible impact on communities in need. This non-profit organization is dedicated to fostering community development through various means like mentorship, education, resource gathering, and civic engagement. By supporting the foundation’s mission, your donation helps to empower individuals and communities, enabling them to become stakeholders in the development process. The funds you contribute can go towards funding educational programs, providing resources to disadvantaged youth, and supporting local grassroots initiatives. Each donation contributes to building stronger, more resilient communities and offers a brighter future for those who need it most.
It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.
The work of the D’Andre D. lampkin Foundation began in 2011 with the Breath Giving Portraits Project and D’Andre Lampkin providing funding to high school students for higher education endeavors. The D’Andre D. Lampkin Foundation was established in 2017 as a Human Service Organization. We are a State and Federal tax-exempt organization focused on societal problems, the prevention of those problems, and viable solutions. In short, we are a nonprofit that makes life better for the people we serve.
At the core of its mission, the D’Andre D. Lampkin Foundation strives to create positive opportunities and change. Their unwavering commitment to sponsoring and creating impactful programs and initiatives is transforming communities and uplifting individuals who seek happier and healthier lives.
Imagine a world where communities are strong, engaged, and resilient. A world where self-reliance and sustainable ingenuity flourish through grassroots efforts. This is the vision that the D’Andre D. Lampkin Foundation tirelessly works towards, day in and day out.
One of the key ways the organization brings about change is through our Community Food Pantry. In a time when hunger and food insecurity are prevalent, this pantry provides a lifeline to those in need. By supporting this initiative, you are not only alleviating hunger but also nurturing the well-being of individuals and families.
Another crucial aspect of the foundation’s work is our focus on education. Through college scholarships and our community classroom, we empower individuals with the tools they need to reach their full potential. By investing in education, we are investing in the future of our society, fostering a generation of leaders and change-makers.
The D’Andre D. Lampkin Foundation also recognizes the importance of fostering strong bonds within communities. Our Community Networking Hub serves as a vital resource for individuals and organizations, bringing people together to collaborate, support one another, and build a stronger collective.
And let’s not forget the joy and hope we spread through our annual toy drive and school supply drive. These initiatives bring smiles to the faces of children who may otherwise go without, ensuring they have the tools needed to excel academically and the happiness that comes from receiving a cherished toy.
In times of crisis, the foundation is there to provide disaster relief education and response. Their quick action and unwavering support help communities rebuild and recover, bringing hope and relief to those who need it most.
The majority of the Lampkin Foundation’s charitable work is performed and implemented by our volunteer staff and partnering organizations. We currently operate programs within the United States that have a significant impact in a wide range of issue areas, including education, economic development, civic engagement, health and wellness, and proving resources for under-served communities.

The work of the D’Andre D Lampkin Foundation is essential in building stronger, more resilient communities, and promoting a brighter future for all.
Show Your Generosity
By now, you have probably seen several emails and posts on social media from other nonprofits asking for your contribution. But I would like to share with you why the Lampkin Foundation is different:
- 100% of donations are used to support our programs and initiatives.
- NONE of your contributions go to the staff and board members. The Lampkin Foundation is comprised of an all-volunteer Board.
- The Lampkin Foundation was recently recognized by the State of California Controllers Office, United States Congress, and City of Ontario for its efforts to address health, education, and community wellness issues.
- The Lampkin Foundation has earned Guidestar’s Platinum Seal of Transparency (The Highest Level of Recognition Offered by GuideStar) for accurately demonstrating and measuring our progress and results.
- We are a verifiable State and Federal tax-exempt organization (501(c)(3)), which means your contributions are tax-deductible and monitored.
We continue to work hard to earn your trust and ensure your donations go toward addressing issue areas that matter to you.
Communities thrive when people collaborate to tackle some of the biggest issues facing our neighborhoods. Not only does giving to the Lampkin Foundation make you feel good, but it is empowering.
Giving strengthens personal values. Whether the reason is religious, personal, or based on principle, giving reaffirms your commitment to helping others. Having the power to improve lives is a privilege that comes with its own sense of obligation. Giving to the Lampkin Foundation reinforces your personal values and helps you to live a life that is true to your own ethical beliefs.
Our goal for 2023 is to expand our food pantry capacity through our DNA Initiative, make significant contributions to long-term disaster recovery efforts and help communities rebuild following disasters through our Disaster Relief Effort, develop a fully supported classroom and community workspace, and ensure access to higher education for students who are global thinkers through our Social Good Scholarship Fund.
We hope you will join us for Giving Tuesday and support our mission to create positive opportunities and change for individuals, communities, and environments.
Thank You for Your Donation
Everyday, people go to their local coffee shop and spend $5 to $10 without ever thinking about it. Imagine if you skipped one trip to support programs and initiatives that foster positive change in communities. As we’ve learned the art of physical distancing and maintain health and safety guidelines over the past two years, one thing has become abundantly clear: We need connection. We are interdependent. We collaborate and work together even while we stand apart. We need one another because we are stronger together.
