Help shape the foundation.
We are building our advisory board and board of directors. If you are a leader who cares about financial empowerment, food access, and community health, we want to hear from you.
"We invest in human potential. By providing financial literacy tools and access to healthy food, we empower individuals and communities to build a future where health and prosperity are not privileges but realities."
Mekonnen Anebo, Founder and Executive Director
Board vs. Advisory Board
We have two distinct roles available depending on your experience, availability, and the kind of impact you want to have.
Board of Directors

Board members hold fiduciary responsibility for the foundation. You participate in strategic decisions, financial oversight, and governance. This is a hands-on leadership role for people serious about building something that lasts.
Advisory Board

Advisory board members provide expertise, connections, and strategic guidance without fiduciary responsibility. You advise the founder and leadership team, open doors, and help shape programs using your specific domain knowledge.
