For more than four decades, the Woodson Center has effectively addressed supposedly intractable social problems at their root. To demonstrate this impact to the entire country, the Woodson Center proposes the Joseph Fund, which in its first phase will raise $50M to resource community-based solutions that align with the enduring values that countless generations have relied on for success.
Fund recipients will represent American principles in action.
Fund recipients are vetted, mentored, and coached to accelerate measurable results.
100% of funds will go to vetted and aligned community-based organizations.
The Biblical story of Joseph inspires the Joseph Fund. Joseph was falsely imprisoned and sold into slavery, but he never succumbed to bitterness. Instead, he became an expert advisor to Pharaoh, saving Egypt from famine and creating prosperity. The Woodson Center is committed to investing in these modern-day Josephs: community leaders whose expertise often goes unnoticed because they lack traditional credentials.
