OUR STORY
Born from Vision. Rooted in Restoration.
The 2Wanda Community Foundation (2WCF) was created from a divine calling — to build systems of care that restore dignity, expand opportunity, and create pathways of Hope, Restoration, and Purpose for families, professionals, and communities.
Founded under the vision of 2Wanda Brands Network — Community. Family. Purpose., the Foundation serves as the charitable arm of a broader movement — turning compassion into structure and purpose into measurable change.
What began as a mission to uplift caregivers and direct support professionals has evolved into a statewide effort — uniting grassroots organizations, diverse abilities, and community leaders through education, funding, and collaboration.
Our Mission
The 2Wanda Community Foundation creates lifelines for vulnerable populations by providing grants, scholarships, and networking opportunities to grassroots organizations, purpose-led initiatives, and direct care professionals.

Through transformative support and intentional partnerships, we are building a lasting legacy of resilience, generosity, and hope for generations to come.
Our Goal
To strengthen systems of care that empower diverse abilities, uplift Direct Support Professionals, and support grassroots organizations through crisis response, education, and financial empowerment.
