Mission Statement
At Our Future Foundation, our mission is to honor the legacy of Destiny C. McClain, a beacon of compassion and love, whose life was tragically cut short. We are committed to transforming her untimely death into a source of inspiration and hope for future generations. We aim to empower students to achieve their educational goals and contribute positively to their communities, thereby creating a brighter future for all. Through our scholarship fund and community engagement initiatives such as Back to School Backpack drives and Christmas Drives, we strive to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
About This Cause
Our Destiny Our Future Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that fosters charitable efforts to empower youth and foster community engagement. The foundation was born from the inspiring legacy of Destiny C. McClain; tragically lost to gun violence, but whose vibrant and passionate spirit for helping others continues to influence the organization’s core operations today. We focus on three main areas: 1. **Our Destiny Our Future Scholarship Fund:** Designed to encourage and support students exhibiting a dedicated academic trajectory and strong commitment to community service — we've delivered four $1,000 scholarships in 2023. Candidates must possess at least a 2.5 GPA and community service or non-profit volunteer engagement. Prospective recipients provide an essay sharing their vision of making a positive world imprint. 2. **Annual Back to School Drive:** An event to meet our community's tactile need by furnishing backpacks filled with crucial academic supplies and hygiene products to underprivileged students. Half of these are donated to homeless shelters and supports students towards their educational endeavors. 3. **Annual Christmas Drive:** An initiative to fill in the void of joy to children in foster care during their usually challenging holiday seasons. Contributions in monetary and in-kind are humbly accepted, affecting positively through two frontline organizations - “Hope & A Future” and “Child Crisis Arizona”. Our impact is substantiated through the number of scholarships awarded, resources allocated, and the smiles we bring on faces. We have effectively arranged measures to support our efforts financially, including an online store selling merchandise, fundraising events, public donations, and consistent annual sponsorship from Stewart. Living true to Destiny's altruistic legacy, we invite everyone to join us in this beautiful journey of facilitating joy, education, and change for building braver souls and brighter futures.
