Introducing
Fatherhood Initiative
Our Mission Statement
To build a culture of fatherhood—one that recognizes the vital role fathers play in the life of a child and the broader community.
Our Why
1 in 4
Children are raised in a fatherless home and/or have no contact with their father. Decreasing this statistic should be one of our highest priorities.
Future Fathers
Young men are constantly faced with challenges culturally, mentally, and emotionally. We want to help them realize their potential.
63% of Youth Suicides
71% of high school dropouts, and 90% of homeless and runaway children come from fatherless homes.
Culture & Society
Our lives are constantly influenced by what is on our phones, the latest trends, celebrities, our heritage, and so much more.
Fathers & Father Figures
Whether it’s a new dad, step dad, dad of 5, or any other father figure; they need support and encouragement.
An Underlying Problem
Fatherless homes are one of the major underlying problems our society faces. We hope by fixing it, we can solve many others.
We believe this isn’t a zero-sum game. When we lift up future fathers and support current father figures, everyone wins.
Our Method
Helping future fathers and father figures, one by one. Every challenge is different—and so is our approach to solving it.
NOMINATE A FATHER FIGURE
It could be a new dad, grandpa, step-dad, coach, uncle, widower, or any other father figure you know. They could be struggling with groceries, rent, addiction, etc. We want to tell their story and help them in any way we can.
NOMINATE A FUTURE FATHER
The statistics about young men today are staggering—especially for those that grew up without their father. We want to help young men become role models and future fathers for the next generation by helping them where they are at.
Culture
Social Media
As we continue to grow, social media will play a significant role in our success. We connect through multiple social media outlets, helping us reach a vast audience. It only takes one click to follow our page and receive more information and influence. Connect with us on every platform you have and spread the word.
Influential People
Our society has no shortage of successful, famous, and influential dads—but they get little recognition for the vital role they play as fathers. We want to change that by providing a platform for influential father figures in our society. Whether they be sports stars, actors, or musicians, we want to highlight how important fatherhood is to them.
Merchandise
One way we promote fatherhood is through our merchandise. The power and influence of apparel has been proven by many nonprofits, companies, and brands. Our merchandise provides a way for you to support and promote fatherhood through your every day style. All proceeds go directly to furthering our mission.
Building a Culture
It takes all of us to build a culture of responsible fatherhood. How can we change the statistics mentioned at the beginning of this overview? They’ll change with supporting current father figures, helping young men make responsible decisions, and shedding consistent light on positive male role models. It’s a cultural change that starts with you.
Events
Dads & Kids
We will hold events that help fathers and their children engage in meaningful activities. For example, we have done “Daddy Daughter” hair days, where dads learned from professional hairstylists on how to style their daughters hair. Contact us to host an event!
Fundraisers
We host fun and meaningful fundraisers that involve families and communities in order to raise funds for our cause. 3x3 basketball & golf tournaments, food events, online campaigns and more! To us, fundraising is just another way to get communities involved!
Speaking Engagements
We aim to host a wide variety of events and activities to teach people all of all ages and backgrounds about the importance of fatherhood. We make the case for fatherhood by presenting facts, real-life stories, and motivation for both current and future fathers.
& More
We want to partner with companies, communities, and schools to create opportunities for fathers, father figures, or young men to grow and learn. If you have an idea for an event please contact us today!
