About Us

---

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 fund raising, 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.

The Louise Shropshire foundation was founded on March 9th 2012, by the grandchildren of Louise Shropshire, having a desire to carry on their grandmother’s legacy of outreach and  educational works 

through out varies underserved communities.

The foundation on which the organization stands began when the grandchildren sought justice and recognition for their Grandmother who always proclaimed to be the original author of the song that became the iconic freedom
