About R.I.C.H. Foundation
Rooted in the South Bronx.Building for Generational Success.
R.I.C.H. Foundation (Realizing Inner Confidence & Happiness) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rooted in the South Bronx, expanding access to mentorship, workforce readiness, leadership development, entrepreneurship, and community-centered experiences for youth, young adults, adults, and families.
Through culturally relevant programming and cross-sector partnerships, we create pathways that strengthen confidence, increase access to opportunity, and support stronger individuals, families, and communities.
Our Story
Opportunity should never be determined by where someone grows up.
R.I.C.H. Foundation was established from a simple belief: talent and potential exist in every community, but access to opportunity does not.
Rooted in the South Bronx, R.I.C.H. works to help close that gap by connecting youth, young adults, adults, and families to mentorship, career and entrepreneurial opportunities, leadership development, cultural experiences, and community resources.
We believe lasting change requires more than individual programs. It requires relationships, access, and sustained investment. That's why we work alongside schools, nonprofits, businesses, community organizations, and local leaders to create opportunities that can grow with individuals and communities over time.
Our Mission
R.I.C.H. Foundation empowers youth, young adults, adults, and families in the South Bronx through culturally relevant mentorship, workforce readiness, leadership development, entrepreneurship, and community-building initiatives. Through programs and partnerships, we expand access to the skills, resources, relationships, and experiences that help individuals build confidence, pursue opportunity, and strengthen their communities.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving South Bronx where individuals and families have equitable access to the relationships, resources, experiences, and opportunities needed to achieve economic mobility, strengthen families, contribute to their communities, and build generational success.
