5 Areas of Giving

Empowerment

The Dale Jr. Foundation supports many organizations that provide safe homes for children who come from traumatic pasts to help them with their hurt and give them a new start. These children have been abused or neglected by no fault of their own and need the resources to overcome their adversities and regain their sense of self-confidence.

Education

Research has shown that children who grow up with strong, positive values are happier and do better in school. This is why we feel that providing grants for technology, reading incentives and help for teachers with out-of-pocket expenses is vital to the success of our community.

Wellness

Children need to be healthy to reach their full potential which is why we support organizations that provide child-friendly services. These organizations go beyond providing medical services and extending to all forms of holistic care.

Hunger

Food is an essential building block to a child’s physical, social, and educational development. Unfortunately, over 20+ million children face food insecurities each week. We partner with many different organizations that provide healthy food to children who might otherwise go hungry.

Hope

We feel that creating a connection with a child, no matter how small it may be, is the greatest way to provide them with a sense of normalcy. This connection can be the positive experience that they need to overcome their obstacles.
