LDG Foundation Believes Everyone Deserves A Quality Place to Live
Helping young people grow into healthy, educated, and productive adults.
Our Job Begins When the Homes are Built
LDG was founded on the commitment to provide support for people and families to remain in their homes through funding programs and initiatives that will enrich the lives of individuals and families in communities and neighborhoods across the country.
Our Focus
We help children, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty by empowering people of all ages to dream, aspire and achieve.
Education
Teaching children today allows for a brighter future, one in which they can both learn and teach.
Health
Vaccinating children against preventable disease enables them to live a healthy, productive life.
Community
It takes an entire community to raise a child. Once that community is formed, anything can be achieved.
Housing
LDG Foundation was built on the foundation that 'everyone deserves a quality place to live.'

Summer Camp
ButtonThe LDG Foundation worked with Evolve502 to put on a Summer Camp at Jefferson Green Apartments. There were 24 students enrolled and they were assessed for reading comprehension, word recognition, and math. The days consisted of reading books to instructors and out loud to the group (book topics included anatomy, science, social justice, healthy eating, and history), small group journaling, math, and hot lunches. It was a very successful summer program because the teacher-to-student ratio was often very small which allowed for much one-on-one interaction.
