Heritage Fountain, Inc.Heritage Fountain, Inc. is a 501(C)3, non profit organization which was formed in October 1996 in response to recent trends in the rise of teenage pregnancies, school dropout, gang participation, and involvement in illegal activities amongst youth in the South Bronx. Its mission is to help young people create positive outlooks for their future so that they will desire to avoid the problems associated with teenage pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, and academic failure. Heritage Fountain will address these issues by offering exposure to activities which are not easily accessed by families in the community. These include computer training, academic enhancement, entrepreneurial training, and recreational activities with special emphasis on tennis and golf. Heritage Fountain believes that involving young people in meaningful after school and evening activities which promote positive lifestyles will cause them to feel better about themselves and ultimately influence them to become goal-oriented, productive citizens. Heritage Fountain needs your support in establishing a center which will provide a safe place for youth to interact after school and during the evenings. Due to lack of centers such as this, many youth are looking to gangs for a sense of belonging and group support. No donation is too small. We are seeking to raise $500,000 to provide life-changing services to a minimum of 100 youth on a monthly basis. These youth may otherwise resort to negative after school activities. Become A Promoter. You may support Heritage Fountain on a monthly or quarterly basis by sending a check in any amount you desire. Promoters are loyal donors who are committed to the vision and mission of Heritage Fountain. Contribute As:
