Will to Succeed Foundation - Special Teams Program

The Will to Succeed Foundation, Special Teams Program provides a point of initiation and model of operation for individuals, families, organizations or groups who, through personal charitable actions, want to volunteer, or assist in supporting Foundation initiatives, or help in discovering their own.

Targeting individuals, families and other charitable organizations in need, resources directly supplied by the Foundation include clothing, toiletries, toys, books, school supplies and educational tools, including computers, cash and a host of other items. Nurturing experiences and personal opportunities are also provided for those in the inner city who have little or no access to other assistance.

The Foundation believes that it is most important to "take care of home first." In other words, if there is a family or individual in anyone's immediate neighborhood or area that can benefit from goods collected through your efforts, those people should be identified and assisted first!

What the Special Teams Program provides:

Those organizations looking to become involved with charitable projects, an already established strategy with links to identified outlets, agencies and programs in need of immediate and ongoing support
A stable and visible means of promotion and exposure for Special Teams Program participants at their own local level
Compounds the efforts needed and returns garnered in assisting those in need from all groups involved with the Special Teams Program and several projects being in motion at one time

A board member as a facilitator” between any given program participant and the Foundation. The facilitator will be the sole means of communication between the Foundation and said program participant and will provide the program participant with appropriate information regarding specific Foundation initiatives and expectations
When appropriate, provide a basic, pre-designed plan of operation, a model or ideas for project development and implementation
Guidance at the point of charitable distribution as is appropriate and/or a prior, plan of action between the Foundation, program participant and charitable outlet
