The Louise Shropshire Foundation is a Nonprofit, public benefit organization that is committed to looking after the well-being, of the youth in the underserved inner cities.


The primary focus of the Louise Shropshire Foundation is to serve the community by fundraising, creating opportunities with youth-based platforms that will provide training and education.

 

These opportunities are directed towards keeping our children from turning to crime, gangs, and domestic violence.


Through various curriculum workshops and events geared towards presenting alternatives and incentives, the Louise Shropshire Foundation hopes to encourage each child to become a positive and productive citizen in society.


We, as a foundation, are also committed to providing support to other youth-based organizations, charitable institutions, and outreach programs.
