programs for a safer tomorrow

Gun violence is a complex problem that must be met with a range of solutions. Our commitment is unwavering—we advocate daily for our community with initiatives designed not only to save lives but showing there's a world of possibilities beyond the neighborhood limits.

Raising Voices, Raising Funds: The Heart of Our Work

At The Tashane Way Foundation, every program and initiative is powered by the generosity of our community—individuals, corporations, and foundations alike. We leverage a variety of fundraising avenues, from crowdfunding platforms and corporate partnerships to grants and special events. Highlights include our successful campaigns on GoFundMe and PayPal, engaging raffles, and our signature Tashane Way Foundation Gala, each contributing crucially to our cause. Your support is more than a donation; it's a lifeline that enables us to make a tangible difference.

our programs

HELPING HAND

Our flagship events are the Thanksgiving Pantry and Turkey Giveaway, where we provide pantry items and turkeys to families in need. We also engage youth from the community to serve as Youth Ambassadors during this event. Additionally, we support other organizations working towards community betterment, such as providing opportunities for children to attend sporting events. Last year, we introduced the Tashane Way Trunk or Treat, offering a safe alternative for families to enjoy Halloween.

EDUCATION

We are committed to providing educational opportunities for the community. Our future programming includes initiatives such as the "Wear Orange" photo exhibition during Gun Violence Awareness Month, arts and crafts exposure, back-to-school events providing school supplies, and training workshops on college readiness, computer literacy, and financial fitness for children and teens.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our mission extends beyond traditional boundaries, encompassing a holistic approach to community well-being. We believe it is our responsibility to address issues such as gun violence awareness, food insecurity, and education on positive means of financial empowerment.
