About

The 110% Foundation was created to pay it forward in the DeKalb County schools and communities to inspire “HOPE”—the kind of hope that inspires dreams, fuels determination, and makes endless possibilities feel attainable.

 

The foundation exists to bridge gaps across schools and communities by providing meaningful resources, support, and financial contributions where they are needed most. We believe every student deserves access to opportunity, encouragement, and a strong network of people who believe in their potential.

Why We Do This Work

We understand that success is not always a straight path. Many students face personal, academic, social, and economic challenges on their journey. Yet every day, young people across DeKalb County demonstrate remarkable resilience, courage, and determination in overcoming obstacles and pursuing their dreams. These stories deserve to be seen, valued, celebrated, and honored. The 110% Foundation was established to ensure that perseverance, growth, and achievement are never overlooked.

 

At the same time, we believe it is equally important to recognize student-athletes who serve as positive role models through their commitment to excellence both in the classroom and in competition. These young leaders exemplify dedication, discipline, character, and service, inspiring others through their actions and accomplishments.

 

Through scholarships, recognition programs, and community partnerships, the 110% Foundation seeks to inspire hope, reward perseverance, celebrate excellence, and empower students to reach their fullest potential while encouraging them to pay it forward for future generations.

To cultivate a future where every student and community member is supported, empowered, and inspired to give 110% of their potential, creating a culture of hope, service, and opportunity where individuals thrive, uplift others, and pay it forward for the greater good.
