About Us
… education is the cornerstone to socioeconomic advancement and to give these children an opportunity they may not have otherwise had.
The Dominican Joe Foundation went from impacted since 2013, supporting one small, community-based classroom in 2013 to providing innovative education-based opportunities to 266 children and over 500 community members.
Today, we are focused on providing the best possible education by equipping students with resources, training visionary educators, and applying engaging methodologies. These resources are crucial tools that empower our children and youth to break the cycle of poverty.
Where we are headed, with your support:
Finalize the Land Purchase – Secure the property where our first DJF Community Center will stand. This land will be the foundation for a brighter future.
Build the First DJF School / Community Center – With the generosity of our friends at Grupo Therrestra, who will construct our new facility, we are now searching for partners to fund the entire project.
Expand Across the Dominican Republic – Within the next five years, we plan on establishing three additional centers in vulnerable communities across DR, providing education, mentorship, and opportunities for those who need it most.
Our Vision.
Our goal is to provide all our students with the best quality education possible, by hiring excellent teachers and following a rigorous curriculum. This education is not otherwise available to these kids but is the crucial factor that will empower them to break the cycle of poverty. To do this, we need sponsors for each of our students.
In 2015 the Foundation was granted 501c3 status and has been operating as a strictly not-for-profit organization, raising funds through the yearly Getaway and Give weekend, other recurring initiatives, and individual donations from the Dominican Republic, USA, and around the world.
