Mission Statement

Making a Difference Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, whose mission is to make a difference in the lives of others everyday. We believe that every person has the capacity to serve and make a difference in a person's life. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., " Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" to serve. You don't have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love, and you can be that servant." We make a difference through: Providing Scholarships; Providing Housing; Providing Gifts of Encouragement; Providing Food; and Performing missionary work throughout the world
