About Us
The Al Denson Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2003 and located in
Jacksonville, FL. The foundation purpose is to empower the lives of young men and women through education and athletics.
The mission of the Al Denson Foundation, Inc. is to increase student achievement in Duval County and surrounding areas, provide students and families information on enriching educational and vocational programs focused on academic preparedness, financial literacy, and mental health. We serve under-resourced youth through mentorship, enrichment activities, and college enrollment support—with a special emphasis on recognizing senior scholar-athletes through academic scholarships.
We believe in the importance of promoting student leaders and aiding them in building a strong educational framework, to achieving academic and career success upon graduation.
WHY WE DO THIS
Although access to a higher education, trade school, or certificate programs are a fundamental need to
survive in this society, the information and financial support is not relevantly available for some students.
Therefore, throughout the school year, we want to provide the information to students and families about opportunities available, seek sponsorships and donations that support our programs and initiatives.
OUR GOAL
Our chief aim is to promote and increase student achievement by providing new programs and initiatives, support systems fostering student success and overall, well-being; and provide academic scholarships to high school senior scholar athletes that have been accepted and attend historically black colleges and universities.
